PG-13 | 1h 37m | Comedy, Romance | April 7, 1995 Mega-move star Johnny Depp is currently all over the news due to a courtroom showdown with his ex-wife Amber Heard for defamation of character. (She claims she was a victim of spousal abuse; he claims her alleged lies ruined his career.) So it seemed like a perfect time to take a look at 1995’s “Don Juan DeMarco” and Johnny Depp of the ’90s, whose star was then on the rise.
People always took him seriously as an actor, even while his stock in trade was shaping up to be odd characters in movies of fantasy and whimsy, like Willy Wonka, Edward Scissorhands, and later Captain Jack Sparrow in Disney’s massive franchise, “Pirates of the Caribbean.”
