Decent attempt at something offbeat, but not quite there

Rating: 5/10 (29 December 2013)

Don Jon tries to be a typical new age Rom-Com but along a different path.
The porn addicted Gordon, is a well written character with tons of background for him to work on, but that is never exploited; and so you're left wondering why all the back stories... Personally, not a Gordon Fan, and I found it difficult to think of the simpleton as a Womanizer. The fit body, the muscle car, and the walk just did not seem enough to change my opinion.
Scarlett, puts in a nice performance as the typical modern day demanding Girlfriend, working along the cloaks of a mystery and making you think if there's something more about her.
Julianne plays the highly clichéd 'weird gal' and although she fits the part, once again the lack of usage of the back stories hurts the overall character.
It's a flick you may wanna watch with your partner, if you wanna bring porn up. Overall, a very simple story, a very plain presentation: even though Gordon throws in many SPUN-inspired fast stills and breaks. Avoidable.
