7.5/10

To see this film’s trailer is to only see half of the film. This comedy starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a lot more than a young man’s addiction to porn. It is about his transformation into becoming a better person which makes his sexual experiences that much better. Tony Danza totally stole the movie as Levitt’s father who is a shining example of most hard assed parents who want the best for their kids. I always say that Requiem For a Dream should be shown to every high school kid in the world, well this film needs to be shown to every male who is in a relationship. I don’t want to give too much away, but this film asks the question of which things within yourself are worth changing for what you view as tranquility. The only things i didn’t like about the film was some of the acting being a little over the top. I think people see New Jersey citizens in the script and always have to play to the stereotype. I feel like these characters could’ve added a little more to making them their own. Also, Brie Larsen plays Levitt’s sister and is totally wasted as she plays the Silent Bob role of the movie. Don Jon is a film about opening up your eyes and changing the things in your life that may be toxic to the way you live. I recommend this film to the male demographic. I don’t know how secure the female demographic will be to enjoy this film. The porn might be a little too over the top.
