"There's only a few things I really care about in life. My body. My pad. My ride. My family. My church. My boys. My girls. My porn."
I'm so glad that I managed to still catch Don Jon at the theaters! It's funny, it's charming, it's clever and it's an honest portrayal of any addict.
Jon is a guy who has a porn addiction, he is a super confident guy that can have all of the girls he wants but he just can't admit and can't explain why he can't stop watching porn.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt did an excelent debut, writting, directing and acting as Jon. The way JGL wrote this story is totally honest and with a comic tone, he talks about the reality of relationships when it comes to sex. Besides JGL the cast is also great, Julianne Moore, Scarlett Johanssen, Tony Danza, Glenne Headly and Brie Larson, all did a great job.
I editing is fantastic, I loved it! The amount of porn clips is huge but totally necessary (and I bet unconfortable for many people) because it really can show the severity of Jon's addiction.
Well, theres so much more things to say about this film but I think that if I mention some of the things that I would like to share with you, I would spoil it and if you haven't seen it yet, it would loose all of is charm! So, see it! It's totally worth it!
I have to share with you this funny situation. I went to see this film with my boyfriend and I already knew that for more embarrassing that some scenes could be, we wouldn't have any problems with it. We are dating for 5 years and no subject for us is a taboo. I bet we were the only two that truly enjoyed the film and we had so much fun, we laughed a lot as no one did... The room was filled with couples that I think went there to see Don Jon thinking that it would be just another romantic comedy. As you all know or at least expect watching the trailer, Don Jon has some scenes that can be totally awkard for some people. The atmosphere in the air was so heavy and by the end of the film they didn't even looked at each other! Omg people nowadays such be more open-minded!
Amazing film, only If you go above what it shows you and think about what it means in our society. If not a weird rom-com
watched actually a long time ago... haha this is what it feels like to be a real macho.
Funny film. A sex comedy done right.
The first 10-15 minutes, aside from the slick editing, had me worried - I was expecting the worst. However, to my pleasant surprise, it delivers as an amusing film about sex and pornography - it even goes away with a positive message.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is great as Jon, I thoroughly enjoyed his performance and what we get to learn about 'Don Jon'. Scarlett Johansson is good as Barbara, while Julianne Moore and Tony Danza support astutely. Brie Larson's character is utterly pointless, but in a way that's actually quite chucklesome - which I assume is the intention.
The editing and camera work in this took my notice as well, both help keep the pacing going as it never feels like it's stalling at any point. I like this film, you should give it a watch.
I enjoyed this film if for no other reason than it dealt with the idea that p*rn can ruin our expectations for relationships. I also enjoyed how it portrayed how men need to learn how to have adult relationships. It really was a pleasant surprise.
When this one came out I was teenage boy that was really into Joseph Gordon-Levitt content (thank Christopher Nolan) that thought Scarlett Johansson was hot (I still do, I am not trying to fool anyone). Obviously a decade later, my tastes have changed so I was curious what revisiting this one would do. In many aspects, it was surprisingly more relatable. Primarily, the Julianne Moore ending no longer threw me for a loop. I genuinely think this was a much better film than I remembered it to be, even if it still is questionable in its execution in several other ways.
