FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
deickos This is a beautiful film, very modest but with a great message. It is difficult to explore the boundaries of sanity and madness, yet it is done here lightly and with much humor. Brando has a part to envy once more in his seventies as "Don Octavio del Flores - the best psychiatrist in the world".
dr-madian This movie is an example of the real and amazing Art, I am really shocked by the rate of only 6.7
Kirpianuscus for the meeting between Brando and Deep. for the music of Bryan Adams. for the story - mixture of crumbs of fairy tale and lovely romanticism. for the message. for a kind of cinnamon aura. for a form of seduction who do not transforms it in a blockbuster but in source of a lot of comfortable memories. a psychiatrist. and a kind of hero. it is enough for a soft adventure in which the emotions becomes more important than the story itself. one of small movies who represents a delight. and it is enough for a fascinating trip in heart of a sort of miracles. little didacticist, it is sweet, naive, amusing. a good work. without high ambitions but with chance to impress. a beautiful movie. so, see it for a time of of relaxation.
bkoganbing Don Juan DeMarco gives Johnny Depp another one of his quirky roles which have dotted the total sum of his career. But the chance to work with Marlon Brando is not something that any player should pass up, especially when you get a part that perfectly suits you.In the title role Depp plays a young man who believes he's at the least the reincarnation of the great lover Don Juan and he dresses the part complete with Lone Ranger mask like he just came from a ball at the Spanish court. Well if you have to have a fantasy providing you've got the strength and stamina that's as good a one to have as any I've heard. I think it beats thinking you're Theodore Roosevelt by a mile.Arsenic And Old Lace is another film that Don Juan DeMarco could easily be compared to. But another that takes a more light hearted look at mental illness is Harvey. If you remember Jimmy Stewart's whose fantasy was seeing a 6' rabbit also bonded with his treating psychiatrist in an unusual way.Stewart got Cecil Kellaway to want in on his Harvey fantasy. So too does Johnny Depp get his treating psychiatrist Marlon Brando to start thinking if maybe Depp's fantasy beats the reality he operates in. Certainly listening to Depp has got Brando looking at his wife Faye Dunaway in a whole new and romantic way.As for Depp's own work, Don Juan DeMarco can be closely compared to Benny And Joon for quirkiness and just unbridled fun. Depp has such a way with offbeat characters from these two films all the way to his Captain Jack Sparrow that I don't think another player around would even try for the parts he does.Don Juan DeMarco is a fun film with both Depp and Brando looking like they enjoy each other's company and working together. They must have because they were teamed again shortly.
