Don Juan DeMarco (1995)

You might not get a thrill from the sight of Faye Dunaway and Marlon Brando throwing popcorn into each other's mouths, but that didn't stop Don Juan DeMarco from gaining a new lease on life thanks to cable television and home video. It's a quirky romantic comedy about a mental patient (Johnny Depp) who claims to be Don Juan, the world's greatest lover, and he gets quite a few women to believe it's true. Brando plays the psychiatrist who tries to analyze his patient's apparent delusion, and Dunaway plays Brando's wife, who wants to inject some Don Juan-ish romance into their marital routine. Walking a fine line between precious comedy, wistful drama, and delicate fantasy, the movie gets a big dose of charm from its esteemed cast, with Depp delivering dialogue that would have sounded ludicrous from a lesser actor. This may not be a great movie, but it is guaranteed to put you in an amorous mood. --Jeff Shannon Amazon.com

Don Juan DeMarco

The interplay between the characters of Don Juan and Don Octavio is full of warmth and caring. A real "feel good" movie. A treasure to watch Marlon Brando in one of his last films. Johnny Depp creates a character of sincerity and humor. The film asked us each to question for ourselves what is sane and what is not sane. You are left to draw you own conclusion. November 25, 2008

A delightful bijoux of a movie

The casting was spot on. Mercurial Johnny Depp can be anyone, I believe he IS Don Juan De Marco. Even at 300# plus, Brando still has it, Dunaway is and will always be a beautiful woman, and the combination obviously worked. The visit of Don Juans mother from Mexico throws a spanner in the Grandmas very believeable story.
In the end, does it really matter what IS, when you can have what you want just by looking with different eyes.
The music by Michael Kamen is superb! I have ordered the sound track. If you don't want to get up and dance (with your dog, if necessary)you just have no fantasy or romance in your soul.
It is a pity that this movie is relatively unknown.Everyone I have shown it to has been touched. I'm just glad it's available. October 19, 2008

Don Juan Demarco

Great movie for those of us who have reached an age where we may have forgotten how rich love can be with the person you have loved for years. I think we can all learn through the eyes of younger people. April 27, 2008
