VHS Movie Reviews of Benny & Joon [VHS]
Movie Review: makes you smile
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the ultimate "feel good" movie. I am on Amazon now buying my 3rd copy of Benny and Joon, since I have worn the past two DVDs thin--you cannot get sick of this movie. The scene with Sam swinging across the window always makes me smile! Not many know about this movie, and I wouldn't say its an amazing feat in film making, but it's a great story. Makes you believe in happy endings.
Summary of Benny & Joon [VHS]
An oddball love story about a fey loner named Sam (Johnny Depp), who falls in love with the mentally unbalanced Joon (Mary Stuart Masterson), who lives in the care of her protective brother Benny (Aidan Quinn). This 1993 story is hard to swallow, with its message that love can conquer a brand of mental illness that manifests itself in pyromania: Joon has a bad habit of going a bit around the bend and setting fires, but Sam's tender care apparently has the cure for what ails her. Still, if you want proof that Depp has significant chops as a physical comedian, give this film a try: He does note-perfect renditions of slapstick routines made famous by Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. --Marshall FineComedy VHS Video
