Movie Review: Don Jon
PLOT SUMMARY: A New Jersey guy dedicated to his family, friends, and church, develops unrealistic expectations from watching porn and works to find happiness and intimacy with his potential true love.
PP REVIEW: We peek into the world of Jersey middle class 20-somethings, the suburban club scene and the pressure to keep up a “cool guy” image with hard biceps and a “perfect dime” girlfriend. I loved the human side of this story, the secret porn addiction that was handled hilariously, keeping this movie classy instead of creepy.
Scarlett Johansson plays a perfect Jersey girl. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is hot and disarmingly sweet (esp for a porn addict). Julianne Moore and Tony Danza play interesting characters.
4 stars for brilliant performances, hilarious moments and an engaging dramedy. Minus one star for the abrupt ending. What’s up with that?
RATING: [usr 3.8]
