Review of Don Jon (2013) by Niall E — 11 Apr 2014

Review:

When this movie starts off, I thought that it was going to be about a guy who is addicted to online porn and falls in love with a girl in a club, but it's very cleverly written by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and you can't help but get caught up in his weird lifestyle. It's a deep drama which has some interesting characters and a original script. For a young person, he has directed a very adult movie which deals with things that people are obsessed with in this day and age and how they can warp your mind. There is a lot of porn throughout the movie so if your not into that type of thing, this movie is definitely not for you, but there is a hidden message behind the whole story of Don Jon which a lot of people can relate to. Enjoyable!

Round-Up:

I really didn't know what to expect from this film because I haven't really heard that much about it, but after watching it, I can honestly say that I did end up getting caught up with all of the characters personals issues. I'm glad that the film made a profit because it was a great achievement by the first time director, and he had a original style of directing which was refreshing. In all, it's definitely worth a watch and I hope that Joseph Gordon-Levitt directs another movie.

Budget: $6million.

Worldwide Gross: $30.5million.

I recommend this movie to people who are into there comedy/dramas about a guy whose addicted to online porn and struggles to find love. 6/10.
