Title: Laugh Out Loud at This Quirky Movie
Review: I've been a Johnny Depp fan for years. This movie (how did I miss it when it was new?) simply reinforces my admiration for his craft.As Sam, a strange, sweet, quirky man with a mild form of mental handicap, Depp performs a Buster Keaton routine with stunning grace as he entertains a crowd in the park. This routine alone makes the film worth watching.But add to this sight gags (for example, Depp mashing potatoes with a racket or steaming a grilled cheese sandwich with an iron) that cause giggles and moments of sweetness that touch your heart without being cloying. . . and you've got a movie that is truly entertaining.After so many poor movies, Benny and Joon was a refreshing change. My copy will be shelved in my permanent collection.Five stars!
