Movie Description
Small-town mechanic Benny (Aidan Quinn, LEGENDS OF THE FALL) is perhaps a tad overprotective of his mentally ill artist sister, Juniper "Joon" Pearl (Mary Stuart Masterson of FRIED GREEN TOMATOES), but that's only because he's completely devoted to her well-being. When Benny loses a poker game and is forced to take in a friend's eccentric houseguest--a droll, dyslexic oddball (Johnny Depp) who goes by the name of Sam and models himself after silent-film star Buster Keaton--Joon finds herself falling into a romance unbeknownst to her brother. Benny does eventually find out, though, and both siblings must come to terms with their changing relationship. BENNY & JOON, a must-see for Depp fans, is chockful of whimsy and affection. This charming romantic comedy co-stars Julianne Moore and William H. Macy in early film roles.

Editorial Reviews
"...Cheerfully conceived and presented with admirable restraint....There are times when [Depp] genuinely seems to become [Buster Keaton]..."
Maslin

"...Startling performances....Both Depp and Masterson, whose screen chemistry sparkles, excel in embodying the spirits of magic..."
Variety - Emanuel Levy (03/29/1993)

"...BENNY & JOON becomes genuinely touching -- a love story about separation anxiety....Quinn has the charisma of goodness..."
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (04/23/1993)

"...Depp pulls it off....Here, without ever explaining himself, he simply behaves sometimes in the real world in the way Keaton and Chaplin behaved in their movie worlds..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (04/16/1993)

"...[Quinn and Masterson] are persuasive..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (04/16/1993)

    This is one of my all-time favorite movies. Benny (played by Aidan Quinn) cares for his mentally ill sister Joon (played by Mary Stuart-Masterson) - life gets difficult when Joon scares off yet another housekeeper/day-time adult care provider. Along comes Sam (played by Johnny Depp), a mentally ill young man who is living under the sink at Benny's friend's house. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll ask yourself, "Do you have any avacados?"

    I know when this came to DVD I rushed out to get it. I loved this movie growing up and still do to this day. Johnny Depp is so funny in this movie and does a great job the whole way through. A story of two people who are totally different but yet still so right for each other. There are a couple moments where you might tear up but there is also a lot of seens that will make you giggle or laugh. Must see movie!
