Don Juan Demarco

2 1/2 stars. Johnny Depp shows off some real talent in
this movie. It's a light and funny film, but sad in that
the likable character DeMarco is really just a delusioned
young man.

Ah, but he's not disillusioned if it all comes true in the
end... This was an enjoyable movie (and Johnny Depp was
brilliant). A bit sappy sometimes (and boy am I tired of
hearing that stupid Brian Adams song), but good. You'll
never hear me object to something that celebrates awakened
passion and lover's skill, or the delightful journey that
leads there...

A romantic voyage into any woman's soul. Definitely a
lesson in what speaks to women: words, imagery. The
surprise on the faces of the women touched by Don Juan's
attention indicate to me that there is a serious lack of
true romance in present-day society. The beauty of the
movie was significantly heightened by the narration and the
beauty of the language. Well done.
