Résumés(1)
Depuis la mort accidentelle de leurs parents, Benny s'occupe de sa soeur Joon, fragile et asociale, sujette à des accès de rage et de violence qui font fuir leur entourage. L'arrivée de Sam, jeune illettré presque muet qui a adopté les manières et le costume de Buster Keaton, va bouleverser la vie du frère et de la soeur. (texte officiel du distributeur)

A typical product of the American studio system. In order for me to enjoy something like this, I would have to be about 25 years younger. In this film, everything is just on the surface. Joon has a mental illness, and it is as if there are problems and crises that are understandably resolved in the best possible way. The characters always find the right emotionally impactful words in those right moments and it's simply a pleasant romantic fairytale with the fragile protagonist, Johnny Depp. It is too shallow and overly sweet for me, but I also don't consider it bad. It is a pleasant relaxing film that definitely does no harm. Overall impression: 55%.
