watching this again, its clearly dated. which is sort've sad. its a fun and quirky movie about two special people falling in love and how the family also has to deal with this. johnny depp is great as always and is convincing doing the physical comedy ala buster keaton whom his character is obsessed with. its light hearted with some serious moments. love, laughter, and comedy with some drama in a well balanced movie. fun soundtrack too. the whole thing will stick in your mind, its certainly memorable. it does seemingly reek of the 80's, and being as it is a early 90's film that's not unexpected. in the end i wonder how many people watching this for the first time might find this trite and a tad boring, for those of us that saw it back then its a good memory....Read more
