Review of Don Jon (2013) by Pirante — 06 Apr 2019
A movie as vacuous and empty as its lead character. Utterly lacking in charm, interest, intrigue, basically any of the ingredients that make a good movie. I've seen fellow commentators label this movie 'too intelligent' for most people - not only massively condescending but a cheap way of defending a movie which just lacks any sort of spark for the entirety.
The subject matter (porn addiction, sexualization of society, etc etc) has rich potential, but this potential is poorly realised and, ultimately, the package in which the subject matter is presented and portrayed is so poor that the potential is all but ruined.
I would not recommend this movie to anyone though I imagine the a-list cast will draw people in regardless.
