Great plot with deep meaning!

This movie very effectively protrays two people who are each schizophrenic. It is halarious and entertaining, yet at the same time shows a very real and serious condition. There are some amuzing scenes and a few sad. The ending is for you to see. Terrific actor and actress too.

makes you smile
Added 11/21/2009
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.

Rediscover A Great Early Johnny Depp Movie!!
Added 7/28/2009
I remember seeing this movie way back in the early 90's,
then I rediscovered it the other day at a freinds house on DVD
and fell in love with it all over again!
I don't think that I really appreciated all the nuances of Depp's
very ethereal and quicksilver performance back when I first saw it.
He studied silent film great Buster Keaton's classic physical comedy
routines to the letter for this role and it paid off!
This is a very cute, quirky and feel good story that will get
you wrapped up in it all over again if you're already familiar with it,
and will endear you to it if you've never seen it before!
---A definite Johnny Depp collectible.

Johnny Depp sparkles...
Added 6/2/2009
Benny & Joon is a mediocre example of a typical made-for-TV-movie. Except for Johnny Depp.
The scenes without Mr. Depp, featuring Aidan Quinn & Mary Stuart Masterson in the title roles, tend to drag, despite the best efforts of the actors. When Depp comes into the scene, there's suddenly life. It's truly amazing.
Overall score for movie: C With Johnny Depp: B+
