Great director debut

Rating: 8/10 (10 February 2014)

I've always like JGL as an actor, so I was quite looking forward to "Don Jon". Sure, the ending is a bit predictable and the dialogues can sound a bit off sometimes, but I was impressed by the photography and direction of the movie. Some shots were beautiful. Plus he really has the whole New Jersey kinda-macho character down! The supporting actors were great too, some of them deliciously annoying (I'm looking at you, Scarlett Johansson! Quality acting on her part), and some of them quite attaching. Anyway, what I liked about too is, although porn is an important part of the plot, the sexual scenes are not too-much, too Hollywoody; they feel natural and touching. I'm curious to see what else JGL has in store for us in the future!
