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. Go to Full Review

4/5
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. Go to Full Review

Daniel M Oct 6 I really didn’t expect to like this one too much, but it really surprised me. The story was well done with characters that felt real and fun to watch. Great cast and I appreciated the deep story it really told See more Robyn G Sep 8 Interesting characters by some well known actors early in their careers, that dry humor that I adore and a thoughtful story of growth from an unexpected direction, Don Jon is a pleasure to watch. Yes, it’s clunky and rough, but it’s also refreshing, unpretentious and poignant in its own humble way. Don’t like the characters? You’re not necessarily supposed to, dumbass. I actually loved the film and think it’s underrated. See more Rene M Jul 10 Fun to watch . Wasn't a fan of the ending but overall good movie 🍿 See more THE NASHVILLE I @Nshvlleindie Jun 28 A great movie that, honest to God, is one of the more relevant movies for men in this century. It’s frustrating it’s been forgotten. Sometimes it’s a bit too jersey shore, but as Julianne Moore’s warmth slowly kicks in Gordon-Leavitt’s male demons and Johannson’s role highlight (mostly for men) some of the most relatable socia struggles today. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 27 Unfunny in 1 hour and 29 minutes!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $24,500,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Craig H @DownWeGo Apr 17 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 See more Read all reviews
