A romance on the brink of reality.
Benny & Joon is a 1993 romantic comedy film released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer about how
two eccentric individuals, Sam (Johnny Depp) and Juniper "Joon" (Mary Stuart Masterson),
find each other and fall in love.
Watch the Trailer!
In a small town, an auto mechanic named Benny is devoted to taking care of his mentally ill sister, Joon,
who can barely function alone in the real world despite being a talented artist. This relatively stable
situation is shaken up when Benny is obliged in a poker game to welcome another player's relative,
Sam, to his home for a few days. When Sam arrives, he quickly makes an impression with his quietly
eccentric ways which emulate the antics of the great silent movie comedian, Buster Keaton.
Without Benny's full knowledge, Sam and Joon find themselves drawn to each other to the
fullest degree. However when Benny finds out, it creates a rift in the siblings as they struggle
to accept their relationship is profoundly changing with the presence of this odd newcomer.
