Original and unusually romantic!

Rating: 6/10 (23 April 2014)

Joseph Gordon-Levitt's directorial debut in a feature "Don Jon" definitely takes the cake as one of the years best romantic comedies. Funny and definitely original, "Don Jon" had more to it than just its suggested theme about a porn-addicted gym head and stood out with its premise that Jon had found his "perfect" girl but was still unfulfilled. The film really illustrated the other side of sex and love and proved that unrealistic expectations about the two can prove to be detrimental to a relationship built on superficial standards. Although there were some parts that were overly stereotypical in regards to people in New Jersey and female foreplay, for the most part it was a good film. Gordon-Levitt's film was well received and with good reason; the modern take on relationships was a breath of fresh air amongst the typical sappy romantic movies.
