	DVD Review - Benny & Joon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Benny is Joon’s caring older brother who protects Joon from the cold realities of the outside world, trying to cocoon her and keep her safe.
		The photo of Benny and Joon that we see in Joon’s bedroom is actually a spliced-together photo of Masterson and Quinn as children.
		Benny and Joon’s house was seen in a photograph and the director went to gas station after gas station in the area until someone recognized it.

	Benny and Joon (REGION 1) (NTSC) : Reviews, Prices, Deals
		'Benny and Joon' could be classified as a romance, a drama, a comedy or an angst flick, but really it's simply a perfect blend of all four, with a quirkiness factor that just makes it very original and incredibly amusing to watch.
		Joon (Mary Stuart Masterson) plays a mentally ill woman who is being faced with being put in a home by her older brother who is at the end of his tether.
		Highly intelligent, creative, and articulate, Joon, however, chafes a bit under the thumb of her protective older brother, but she does have some issues, as there are certain things that act as triggers for some odd behavior on her part.

	Benny & Joon movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review
		But one of his most memorable, and often forgotten, early appearances was in director Jeremiah Chechik’s marvellously kooky Benny and Joon, a romantic comedy of sorts about a spectacularly odd couple with enough character quirks, eccentricities and behavioural issues to send a convention of psychiatrists running for their own couches.
		Having devotedly looked after Joon ever since their parents died 12 years ago, he’s had no real life of his own to speak of, because when he’s not at work, he’s looking after his sister.
		A film, which at one time had Woody Harrelson and Laura Dern, attached to play the roles of Benny and Joon, this particular Chechik movie is an easy target for claims that several plot developments are too contrived and Joon’s illness is too romanticised.

	'Benny Joon'
		Benny & Joon" is a sweetly pixilated ampersand movie about loony tunes in love.
		"You can't bet a human being," says Benny, who obviously still hasn't seen "Honeymoon in Vegas." In any case, Sam finds the perfect romantic partner in Joon, a painter whose symptoms are controlled to some degree by her medication, even though she wears a snorkel when she is out directing traffic with a Ping-Pong paddle.
		Benny, who has been avoiding his own problems by focusing on hers, throws Sam out when he learns of the affair.

		"Benny and Joon" is the moving story of Benny (Aidan Quinn) and Joon (Mary Stuart Mastersen) Pearl, a brother and sister who have lived together for twelve years since their parents died.

	:: rogerebert.com :: Benny And Joon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Benny is enraged at the news that they love each other, because he believes Joon cannot live independently - and also because, having devoted his life to caring for her, he feels a certain possessiveness.
		Because "Benny and Joon" is the kind of movie it is, the problems of reality, while occasionally present, are not entirely given their due.
		Most people would side with Benny in his opposition to the talk of marriage, but the movie suggests that love and magic can overcome madness, and for at least the length of the film I was prepared to accept that.

		All of the main characters, Joon included, are certainly in different places at the film’s end, but she clearly still has her fair share of issues.
		Benny: Listen, she's gonna be alone every day until I find another housekeeper, I'm not leaving her alone at night too.
		Joon: She was given to fits of semi-precious metaphors.

	Review: Benny & Joon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Joon (Mary Stuart Masterson) is a young woman afflicted with a mental illness that occasionally causes bouts of strange and manic behavior.
		Time was obviously spent sketching outlines of Sam, Joon, and Benny, but when it came to putting flesh on the bones, only Benny is given his due.
		Apparently, the assumption that Joon and Sam are off-the-wall was enough for the writer and director.

	Grilled Cheese Sandwiches with a clothes iron (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Johnny Depp, clad in a ric-rac-trimmed apron, is an appealing figure as Sam in the 1993 film Benny and Joon as he cooks a stack of grilled cheese sandwiches using a clothes iron.
		For the second experiment, we preheated the iron to the wool setting, theorized by Benny and his sister Joon to be the better setting, while spreading a smaller quantity of butter on both slices of bread.
		Contrary to Sam's assertion (as later reported by Benny and Joon), Benny and Joon appear to have been instinctively correct in their preference for the wool setting for cooking grilled cheese sandwiches with a clothes iron.

	Benny & Joon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Original Review: Benny & Joon was one of the first major studio pictures Rachel Portman scored when she first hit the Hollywood big time.
		The whole album exudes an air of almost child-like innocence and playfulness and is built around a bouncy main theme, 'Benny & Joon', which highlights Portman's talent for crafting elegant woodwind solos, in this instance flutes and clarinets.
		Throughout the entire running time of Benny & Joon, I was constantly thinking about the films of Charlie Chaplin, and especially the enduring image of Johnny Depp sticking two forks into his bread rolls and pretending they are feet, a la The Gold Rush.

	Benny & Joon (1993)
		Joon likes to paint and also set things on fire around the house and as such must be supervised constantly.
		Joon and Sam start to plot to find Benny the perfect match while trying to keep their relationship a secret.
		Benny and Joon is a quirky romantic comedy that certainly won't appeal to all, but I found it to be at least a little different from the rest.

	Benny And Joon [1993] DVD at Shop Ireland
		Benny (Aidan Quinn) works as a car mechanic, but finds it difficult to form a long-term relationship with any woman he meets.
		Benny thinks this may be the answer to all his problems & it will also avoid him putting his sister in a group home, as he doesn't like those sort of places.
		I felt so sorry for the way Joon was treated by her brother, but was so happy when Sam came into her life, as he didn't see her as mentally ill, but as a normal human being.

		Joon looses a hand of poker with Benny’s friend and taking Sam, the friend’s unwelcome relative, off his hands is the price.
		The idea of a man absorbing himself in the care of his sister who was driven insane by their parents’ death is ripe soil for dramatic exploration of serious themes.
		Benny and Joon takes steps in that direction, but is finally tripped up by a preoccupation with the serious implications of its characters’ situations.

	Amazon.co.uk: Benny and Joon (REGION 1) (NTSC): DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Mary Stuart Masterson plays Joon, a young woman with a mental illness that is never clearly delineated - she's been known to start little fires, she sometimes hears voices in her head, and there is a somewhat childlike character to her nature.
		The siblings are approaching a crossroads, though - Joon has just run off another housekeeper, Benny can't find anyone to stay with her during the day, and all the while Joon's doctor is urging Benny to put her in a group home.
		Aidan Quinn is quite good in his role of Benny (and Julianne Moore is a nice bonus for the film), but Depp and Masterson clearly carry the story with their characters' quirky antics and heart-warming commitment to one another.

		Beening faced with the decision of weather or not to put my brother in a "group home" the movie hit a tender spot in my heart.The movie was even toned, not to much comedy and not to much on the sometimes darker side of living with a person with this illness.My 15 year old...

	dvd Benny & Joon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		An oddball love story about a fey loner named Sam (Johnny Depp), who falls in love with the mentally unbalanced Joon (Mary Stuart Masterson), who lives in the care of her protective brother Benny (Aidan Quinn).
		This 1993 story is hard to swallow, with its message that love can conquer a brand of mental illness that manifests itself in pyromania: Joon has a bad habit of going a bit around the bend and setting fires, but Sam's tender care apparently has the cure for what ails her.
		Benny and Joon is a good movie about Joon a schitzophrenic woman played by Mary Stuart Masterson and her brother Benny played by Aidan Quinn and there is also the eccentric Sam played by Johnny Depp who falls for Joon.

	'Benny Joon'
		The cultural usurpation extends to "Benny & Joon," a new movie that would make Johnny Depp into a quasi-Buster Keaton by a mere act of glam-casting.
		"Benny" is also the kind of movie in which mental illness isn't a disease or a psychosis.
		It's a state of lovable lunacy, a la "King of Hearts." Car mechanic Aidan Quinn (he's Benny) has spent most of his life protecting, uh, charmingly unbalanced sister Masterson (Joon) from the real world.
