7/10
the ultimate date film
12 January 1999
I have yet to see a bad Johnny Depp movie (I haven't seen Cry Baby), and this is one of his better flicks. I can't imagine anyone else playing the part of Don Juan better. Marlon Brando also lends a solid performance (but he's definitely had roles that better showcase his talent than this). The costuming was superb, the old Mexico scenes were handled well, and the plot was an entertaining mix of flashbacks and present day. Depp's monologue about the "two great questions in life" will forever be ingrained in my memory. This movie, while not ground-breaking, is an excellent choice for an evening with a special someone. It's a charming tale that will give you a warm feeling every time you watch it. I bought it and have not regretted the decision. 7/10
