I've seen it several times and I absolutely loved every minute if it! It is that kind of film that brings the smile back on your face and the conviction that the love is appropriate in every moment of each one's life!

A psychiatrist must cure a young patient that presents himself as Don Juan, the greatest lover in the world. A great love story of the man presenting himself as Don Juan & his romance as well as with his parents - oddly improving the love of his psychiatrist's life to top it all off. Love and Tragedy are strong in this film.Top notch film - worth watching!9/10

This is not really a formal review; all I can say is this is one of my all-time favorite movies. It has it all . . . romance, sword fights, humor . . . and the great actors Marlon Brando, Faye Dunaway, and Johnny Depp. And, you have a feeling of go back and forth in time between the scenes in a modern day big city psychiatric hospital setting and various exotic places that seem from an era gone by. And, it has the best theme of all time . . . love . . . the eternal power of love. Even Don Juan de Marco falls in love. This movie also has some of the best lines, for example: "There are only four questions of value in life, Don Octavio. What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same: only love."

Don Juan DeMarco is a romantic comedy starring Johnny Depp as John Arnold DeMarco, a man who believes himself to be Don Juan, the greatest lover in the world. Clad in a cape and domino mask, DeMarco undergoes psychiatric treatment with Marlon Brando's character, Dr. Jack Mickler, to cure him of his apparent delusion. But the psychiatric sessions have an unexpected effect on the psychiatric staff, some of whom find themselves inspired by DeMarco's delusion; the most profoundly affected is Dr. Mickler himself, who rekindles the romance in his complacent marriage.The movie also stars Faye Dunaway.The movie is based on two different sources: the modern-day story is based on director/screenwriter Jeremy Leven's short story Don Juan DeMarco and the Centerfold and the familiar legend of Don Juan,wherein flashbacks depicting DeMarco's back-story are based on.In the movie,a psychiatrist treats a most unusual patient, only to find that the doctor is the one who gains the most from their sessions. A young man in a mask and cape 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, 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 his patient and 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, and he slowly becomes convinced that his patient might really be Don Juan after all.Walking a fine line between precious comedy, wistful drama, and delicate fantasy, it gets a big dose of charm from its esteemed cast, with Johnny Depp delivering dialogue that would have sounded ludicrous from a lesser actor.While the performances by Marlon Brando and Faye Dunaway elevate this likable comedy about love, illusion and delusion way above its inconsequential text.This may not be a great movie, but it is guaranteed to put you in an amorous mood.
