Critics Reviews Don Jon is breezy, provocative and definitely makes for an interesting discourse of sex and relationships. Check it out. As a simple and sweet ...
New Jersey bartender Jon Martello (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) knows what's important: his friends, his family, his car, his church, his sexual conquests -- and porn. 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.

5. 'Don Jon' Review - ScreenCrush
Sep 26, 2013 · For a movie that is, fundamentally, a comic crowd-pleaser (lots of big laughs, especially in the confessional) 'Don Jon' takes some risks with ...
Before I write anything else about 'Don Jon': yes, there are some guys in Northern New Jersey who really do act this way. Some of the particulars are exaggerated, but not really. Whether the interior life of Joseph Gordon-Levitt's protagonist gym rat, club denizen, muscle car driver is accurate is something I'll never know, and considering the emotional dysfunction on display, I think I'm okay with it.

7. Movie Review: “Don Jon” - The Colgate Maroon-News
While lighthearted and funny, “Don Jon” also exemplifies the dichotomy between young men and women's unrealistic expectations of each other.
“Don Jon” is not a movie that you want to see with your parents – or anyone, if you can help it – but that’s not to say that you shouldn’t see it at all. This film has a lot of sex, a lot of graphic pornography and a lot of nudity. And, while unnecessarily...

17. Review: Don Jon | The Focus Pull Film Journal
Sep 20, 2013 · Review: Don Jon ... Joseph Gordon-Levitt's debut feature “Don Jon” is a stylistic sex dramedy with a decent point to make; it intrigues but fails ...
When Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s directorial debut was announced, the last thing I expected from one of the most charismatic actors of the generation is “Don Jon” – a super-edgy sex comedy that’s stylistically well-made but considerably rough around the edges when it comes to flawed plotting and unlikeable characters. Date-nighters beware: with tons of on-screen, just barely-censored pornography and the frequent, casual objectification of women; this is a far cry from the lovable man-boy romances of Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s past.
