Marlon Brando seems miscast in this film but this is compensated by a passionate Johnny Depp, who shines as an incurable, eternal romantic. A refreshing story about love and romance, and the main song will be stuck in your head for quite a while after the movie is over.

This is an extremely charming, fun, and romantic film about a psychiatrist who is given ten days (his final ten days before his retirement as it turns out) to treat a young patient who believes with all of his being that he is Don Juan, the world's greatest lover. Problems arise ... read more

I rarely get girly over heart-throb Actors, but if Johnny Depp wasn't tempting enough, in this film he appears as the World's greatest lover too!
A romanticised Drama, with a phychological touch, enjoyable and easy watching. -

So, Depp plays a Don Juan, a womanizer, who's overly romantic, just what every one of his fans wishes he was like... And that's it, there's nothing more to it, really. Not being a big fan of his, I was just really annoyed by this.

An abysmal script and weak performances from the entire cast. It was a complete waste of screen time between Marlon Brando and Johnny Depp, two extremely gifted actors. The story is corny and just idiotic, a complete waste of time.

This is instantly one of my favourites: I can't believe I never saw it before. I can only knock it for the ending: it could've ended at the word "Queens" and made a much more powerful point about therapy. It would appear, rather, that the point is related to romanticism... I gues... read more

A strange, whimsical movie whose flaws seem minor enough considering how entertaining it is. Unfortunately, a lot of people only remember the late work of Marlon Brando for his weight. They seem to forget that he was stll a vibrant and immensely talented actor. He does a great jo... read more

Critic Reviews
Buoyant and lightweight... except for Brando, who is, in fact, rather heavy.
This thin comedy is seductive despite not living up to its potential. Full Review
Strong cast don't entirely save this movie from itself.
Affirms romantic love as a candle that must constantly be relit by wonder, devotion and creativity. Full Review
A light hearted, fairy tale of a romance, there is not much in it, but what there is is a delight and will reaffirm your belief in life and especially in romance. Full Review
