Benny & Joon


This movie was a little bit weird, but it definitely shows off Johnny Depp's amazing acting skills. He portrays an odd guy who is obsessed with movies and tries to act like Buster Keaton and actually does a pretty good job of it. The girl in the movie, Joon (Juniper), has mental challenges which seem to be a mixture of lots of disorders. The plot was a little dull, but it provided a greater insight into the lives of people with mental disorders and their families. It was pretty funny at times as well. Overall, I'd recommend watching it.

  1. He's a silent film comedian. He did stuff like shaking your hand and pretending like his hand would get stuck and then go through the antics of trying to pull it away and eventually doing it but throwing himself on the ground in the process. Stuff like that. I didn't know who he was until I watched the movie. :)
