"Benny and Joon" is a romantic comedy that includes a disabled couple. Sam, played by Johnny Depp, is a free spirit who falls in love with Joon, who is schizophrenic. Although Sam is sane he cannot read, write, or live on his own. Joon, when in one of her moods, talks to herself and becomes violent, forcing her to live in a hospital or with her brother. Sam and Joon overcome these obstacles in the end and fall in love. This is a heartwarming love story that will keep a smile on your face throughout the whole movie. This link gives you a review by Roger Ebert.
"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." Roger Ebert.
