Review of Benny & Joon (1993) by Erika P — 28 Aug 2013

Benny & Joon is a quirky, hilarious, offbeat, at times heartbreaking, and absolutely wonderful romantic comedy. I really enjoyed the offbeat plot which gave the film a very fresh feel to it and I also really enjoyed the eccentric characters.

What really takes the film to the great heights it achieves is due to the wonderful cast who breathe life perfectly into their bizarre characters. When you watch Benny & Joon, it's really hard to walk away without a big, goofy smile on your face.

I would definitely not hesitate to say that Benny & Joon is among the best romantic films I've ever seen. If you are tired of the endless crap plaguing the romance genre, this one is definitely worth seeing.
