7/08: Don Juan DeMarco is a nice romantic picture that's full of imagination but is slow and lackadaisical.

I like the story, but the pace is the biggest problem, dragging down the narration. Johnny Depp is perfect as the eponymous character; however, he isn't deep as I've hoped for.

Marlon Brando finally gets his act together and gives the best performance in many years. Being paired with Faye Dunaway is actually the most romantic part of the movie. She's able to match him scene for scene and seems to enjoy herself as well.

All in all, although Johnny Depp is dreamy, there isn't much much to work with in Don Juan DeMarco given the high potential.
