    There's no great romantic climax to Don Juan DeMarco (and that may be a drawback for Depp lovers looking to swoon), but there is an airy delicacy to this tall tale that fits in perfectly with the weather these days, the hormones, the whole seasonal gestalt. Read full review

    San Francisco Chronicle | Mick LaSalle

    The picture... is simple, sweet and elegantly written, and it benefits from the presence of Marlon Brando. Read full review

    Rolling Stone | Peter Travers

    What jump-starts the film is the casting of Johnny Depp as Don Juan and Marlon Brando as his shrink. They bring a playfully romantic touch to a drama that could have been dead weight in clumsier hands. Read full review

    Washington Post | Desson Thomson

    The movie, written and directed by Jeremy Leven, may not be one for the ages, but it's a pleasant, involving experience that intermixes fairy-tale romance with modern, deadpan comedy. Read full review

    The New York Times | Janet Maslin

    It benefits not only from Mr. Brando's peculiar presence, but also from Johnny Depp, who again proves himself a brilliantly intuitive young actor with strong ties to the Brando legacy. The movie is cheesy, but its stars certainly are not. Read full review

    Washington Post | Hal Hinson

    [Leven] keeps the film's tone light and ingratiating. And, though the material is thin, the actors do seem to be getting a kick out of playing off each other. Read full review

    Austin Chronicle | Steve Davis

    Although flawed in many respects -- it's not as smooth and silky a movie as it could have been -- Don Juan DeMarco nevertheless evokes a romantic mood that tickles and caresses. Read full review

    USA Today | Mike Clark

    The flashbacks, functional at best, aren't really the problem. Interminable one-on-one dialogues between the two male leads are. [7 Apr 1995, p.03.D] Read full review

    Los Angeles Times | Peter Rainer

    Depp is rather sweet in portraying Don Juan's self-delusions, but his performance is hampered by the role. Read full review

    Chicago Sun-Times | Roger Ebert

    Brando doesn't so much walk through this movie as coast, in a gassy, self-indulgent performance no one else could have gotten away with. Read full review
