Sep 27, 2013 · Don Jon is an unfunny, rather reprehensible comedy about porn addiction that treats its women poorly while attempting to worm its unlikable hero into your heart.
Don Jon proves to be an amiable directing debut for Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and a vivacious showcase for his co-star, Scarlett Johansson. Read Critics Reviews

Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Jon Martello is a man of his ways, methodical and absolute even when designing his life to be the most effective romancer on the planet. His priorities — “My body, my pad, my ride, my family, my church, my boys, my porn” — become a daily to do list, with an emphasis on the last item.
Jon really loves pornography, a fantasy gateway that becomes more real to him than any human connection he can make. His mind is always drifting to naked woman with impossibly large breasts, doggy style in a bedroom, bathroom, hospital, or teacher's lounge.
In Don Jon, writer/director Gordon-Levitt grapples with Jon's addiction to explore sexuality, love, and the comfort we can find in our natural state of being. It's a lot easier to escape to porn than figure out what gets someone hot and bothered emotionally.
Gordon-Levitt picks up with Jon at the peak of his game. Channeling the aggressive mundanity of Edgar Wright montages, we're propelled through the ritual, all culminating in a night out on the town, scouting for “tens,” the cream of the good-lookin' lady crop.
Don Jon is a stylistic sex comedy that confronts addiction, stereotypes, and our obsessions with Scarlett Johansson and twists them into wisecracks.
