Yo Intenet Porn Can Be Addictive

Rating: 7/10 (16 June 2014)

This was a good, solid entertaining movie about growing up. The start was rather annoying. I don't know why but it annoyed the hell out of me every time Don Jon tossed that balled up tissue in the trash. The clanking sound was all WRONG! Who did the sound effects? Tissue makes a soft swishy sound - not a loud clunky sound. So, that bothered me. And then the extreme Jersey accents were a bit of a pain too, but then I realized these were the stereotypical Jersey characters - oversexed, loud, self-absorbed young adults. *SPOILER ALERT* Jon thinks he's the typical guy who just happens to self-pleasure to Internet porn every day, multiple times during the day. Yo, you're addicted dude! It's not until he meets a pained older woman who teaches him that reality can be way better than the unreal digital fantasy. I liked the juxtaposition of religion too - no matter how much you've sinned recite a few holy phrases a few times and you're good to go. The acting was stellar, the script well-conceived and nicely paced and overall a really good movie. And, Rob Brown was terrific - his character was a solid friend to Don Jon. Lastly, I loved how Jon's sister, who didn't speak throughout the movie, relayed her emotions with these telling looks - until she finally speaks the truth! Nice job JGL.
