DVD Synopsis

A psychiatrist treats a most unusual patient, only to find that the doctor is the one who gains the most from their sessions in this philosophical romantic comedy. A young man in a mask and cape (played by Johnny Depp) is standing atop a billboard, threatening to jump. When the potential suicide is finally talked down, he's brought to a psychiatric facility where after one doctor washes his hands of the case, he's placed under the supervision of Dr. Jack Mickler (Marlon Brando), an aging psychiatrist soon to retire. The patient informs Mickler that he is actually the great lover Don Juan, who has seduced over 1,500 women, but has fallen into a deep depression after being unable to win the hand of the woman of his dreams. Mickler has ten days to work with "Don Juan," after which he will either be released on medication or committed to a long-term stay in a mental hospital. As Mickler talks with the young man, who speaks rapturously of the art of love, the doctor finds that his philosophies are helping to kick start his failing relationship with his wife (Faye Dunaway), and he slowly becomes convinced that his patient might really be Don Juan after all. Don Juan DeMarco's theme song, "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman," became a major hit for singer and songwriter Bryan Adams; after working with Marlon Brando on this film, Johnny Depp cast the legendary actor in a key supporting role in his directorial debut, The Brave. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

This is one of my favorite movies! Johnny Depp and Marlon Brando and Faye Dunaway...what an amazing cast! Johnny really shows what a talented actor he is in this role...you totally believe his Don Juan DeMarco and want him to BE who he says he is.

Don Juan Demarco is cheesy goodness. This is definitely a movie that you have to just let go and not take to seriously and just enjoy it for what it is. A sweet and charming romantic comedy with a flash of fantasy mixed in. Don Juan Demarco stars Johnny Depp who is commited to a mental institution and states he is Don Juan, the lover for all women. The movie shows this supposed Don Juan talking through flashbacks trying to convince his psychiatrist played by Marlon Brando that he is speaking the truth. It is up to the viewer to try to decide if he is off his rocker or is he actually Don Juan? Mixed in with the flashback scenes we also get to see the effect that Don Juan Demarco has on those around him and also how Marlon Brando's life is effected with many humorous moments. Although, this movie will likely never end up on a greatest movies of all time list, I do believe it is an underrated "fluff" film and I recommend it.
