Negative Positive
Title: Left of center chick flick
Review: Johnny Depp may be committing career suicide with his misquotes, but when your acting is as good as his, even lighthearted fare such as "Benny & Joon" become gems.It's heart is in the right place; most films rarely deal with behaviour disorder patients as protagonists (much less romantic leads!), but for some odd reason, it works here. Masterson is as luminous as ever, Aidan Quinn does a fine job as the straight man, and Julianne Moore turns in a decent performance as always. But Johnny Depp is the real star of the film, and basically gives it the pulse it desperately needs to carry it to the end.Well worth the rental, but if you happen to buy it, it's still a charming little film to own.
