Disappointing

Rating: 3/10 (8 October 2013)

My wife and I went to see Don Jon based on the fact that we both like him as an actor and the premise seemed interesting. I do believe this is a film where the premise failed to live up to expectations. At times I felt like I was watching the same movie about 10 times. Guy picks up girl at a club, sleeps with her, finishes himself off with porn numerous times per week, go to church, is absolved of his sins, and repeats. I suppose that was one of the main purposes of the film, so show a man who is unable to separate what he sees in pornography and what his expectations are of a real relationship. It was just poorly done, and giving this a 4/10 is based on my elation that Tony Danza found work as the title character's foul mouthed father and Scarlett Johansson looking like a knockout for the duration of the flick. I would not suggest checking this one out. Disappointment abound. Hopefully Joseph Gordon-Levitt's next project will be an improvement.
