Is this dark handsome stranger truly don juan the legendary lover who has seduced a thousnad women? dr. Jack micklers joby. Is to find out. As he explores the fantasy world of don juan micklers own spirit is reborn and the passion in his marriage rekindled. Studio: New Line Home Video Release Date: 02/03/2004 Starring: Marlon Brando Johnny Depp Run time: 92 minutes Rating: Pg13You 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

The film was utter nonsense and the worst part about it was Johnny Depp! It is extremely unlikely that he could have any effect on women whatsoever. Every time he appeared on the screen I wanted to skip the scene. Marlon Brando, as fat as he was, would have been a more convincing Don Juan! To be honest, I’m a huge Brando fan and I think, even with his handsome looks gone, he has such a magical aura around him that you can feel it coming from the screen. Doesn’t matter how unattractive Brando is in this movie, he is the most lovable character in it and the only reason I give the film 2 stars.

This movie is horrible. It is so bad that when my husband and I went to see it in the movie theater we were the only people in the theater! We have never left a movie early before and we left this one 3/4 through. It is about a man running around having trists with women and that’s it.

Johnny Depp is not convincing. The plot is strange, trite, and annoying.
Brando needs to give up acting. He’s extremely unconvincing and fat.

Damn right! Anyway, this movie I like purely for Johnny Depp. Cos what else is there to watch it for? Marlon Brando, who you need subtitles for just to understand him? I don’t think so! The storyline is a pile of nonsense, especially when ‘Don Juan’ is actually in the mental hospital. The flashbacks are reasonably OK, and Johnny Depp is funny, but Marlon Brando?! And apparently, Johnny would only do this role if Marlon Brando was in it. Why was that exactly? Here’s me thinking he had more taste than that.
I think I’ve seen this movie once before when I taped it off the TV. I watched it, thought it was OK, and all the good bits stayed with me. Then I forgot about it, grew up (ahem) and got it on DVD. Big mistake. I kinda have to keep it for a while, as it was a birthday present, until my mum (obviously, who else) forgets she gave me it for my birthday.
I don’t know whether everyone else has a different DVD to me, but mine has NOTHING on it. Very disappointing. I mean, never mind I LOVE trailers on my DVDs, this didn’t have a trailer, not even a scene selection! Shocking. Mind you, I did think this was a good DVD at one point.
Best bits of this movie? Johnny with his top off and wearing eyeliner (hmmmm, he does that again in Pirates of the Caribbean – another rubbish film, but he’s great in it). Worst bits? Marlon Brando and Faye Dunaway. I’m all for people staying together, and keeping the relationship alive, but Marlon Brando?
