In fact, Jon is a porn addict and has never had a genuine relationship with a woman. However, when he meets Barbara (Scarlett Johansson) he has to change his operating methods, because Barbara won't be bedded easily. For the first time in his life, Jon begins a real courtship, but his obsession with erotica threatens to ruin everything.

Critics Consensus

Don Jon proves to be an amiable directing debut for Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and a vivacious showcase for his co-star, Scarlett Johansson.

Kerensa Cadenas

Bitch Media

Despite a rather limiting viewpoint on porn and what constitutes healthy sexuality, Don Jon is an enjoyable and very funny deconstruction of the ways in which we objectify each other and ourselves.

Don Jon is breezy, provocative and definitely makes for an interesting discourse of sex and relationships. Check it out.

As a simple and sweet coming-of-age story for the Jersey Shore generation, it's perfectly entertaining stuff.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

With romance in its cross-hairs and obsession at its fingertips, the end result of Don Jon is a challenging and worthy playing field that addresses just how wide that gap is between romance and obsession.

Rated: 4/5

Joseph Gooning Leavitt in a comedy/romance version of Steve McQueens Shame basically. A nice older woman making a man out of Jon was nice to see but his character development was very minimal. JGL is always great to watch, Scarlett is pure eye candy in this and the film flows nicely despite it not being a film that didnt resonate with me much

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Surprisingly thoughtful, stylish and emotionally sharp, Don Jon is one of the most pleasant surprises of its year. Joseph Gordon-Levitt makes an assured debut as writer-director-star, crafting a modern character piece that’s brisk, funny and grounded in honest insights. Scarlett Johansson is pitch-perfect as a woman whose self-image is rooted in fantasy, and Tony Danza is a scene-stealing stroke of genius. The pacing flies, the stylistic flourishes land and the result is a film that’s both entertaining and quietly profound. A Sundance standout that earns its place.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Es una película que te pone a pensar. ¿La pornografía hasta que punto es buena o es dañina? Todo un tema de debate. Las actuaciones son flojas pero el argumento es interesante.

A pretty weak plot about a porn addict. He meets a woman who ends his addiction. That’s pretty much it. Watched on DVD.
