The manga on which “Benny & Joon” (1993) is based
There is no reliable information that “Benny & Joon” is based on any manga. In available references, the film is generally described as an original story/screenplay rather than an adaptation of a manga. Therefore, it isn’t possible to provide a specific manga title or an author as the source material.

Benny & Joon wears its sensitivity on its sleeve and though it’s a little hard to take at times, these actors make it all passable.
This sentimental stew is not without its flavors, and the cast tries hard to be winsome and adorably distraught.
This fierce, smart jape gets you shaking with laughter, then leaves you simply shaking.
Inconsequential as it is, Benny & Joon is that rare thing, a crazy-versus-sane movie that likes one kind as much as the other.
The movie suggests that love and magic can overcome madness, and for at least the length of the film I was prepared to accept that. Much of th...

It turns out that Depp was already attracted to weird blondes in the nineties. Seriously, the film is not without its charm, but the characters are developed so-so, and the plot is primitive. And yet the rating will be green. Minimal green, but green.

a very sweet and relatable take on mental illness packaged into a delightfully quirky rom-com. Depp has made a career of playing eccentric characters, so he naturally shines as Sam, a well-dressed oddball with a flair for physical comedy.

When the humor isn’t quite clear, but the film is very sweet and tender, it feels like a melodrama to me. Sam is a character in his own right, with both beauty and cruelty, just like June, and she’s portrayed well. It’s such a sweet impression, and the film’s message is to be yourself and enjoy life.
