Benny and Joon is a classsic movie in my opinion but not one in the tradional sense. Johnny Depp's performance in this movie does not disappoint. As per his usual roles, he plays a unique quirky character that you will adore.

The premise of this movie is about mental illness and finding ones way through it to move on into self sufficiency. It's also about trials and tribulations and love. How love transcends all things and all people.

There is a deep story line here with many comedic points. Some comedy moments are very very memorable and I bet you will find yourself, at some point imatating one of them. I know my significant other did, in a restaurant full of people with another couple (who had not even seen the movie no less). It made them laugh too. You have to see this movie to understan and appreciate it fully. You will neither forget it or regret it!
