Atom User Reviews
Metacritic
Benny and Joon is a film that approaches its subjects so gingerly it almost seems afraid to touch them. The story wants to be about love, but is also about madness, and somehow it weaves the two together with a charm that would probably not be quite so easy in real life.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
This sentimental stew is not without its flavors, and the cast tries hard to be winsome and adorably distraught.
Peter Rainer
Los Angeles Times
Benny and Joon is a dangerously fanciful story of cute eccentrics, characters whose quirks are the very essence of their appeal. Some of us experience a form of red alert at the very notion of adorable oddballs on screen, but Benny and Joon turns out to be remarkably benign in that regard.
