What makes it different from others?

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Let me start this review by saying that I love Julianne Moore, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Scarlett Johansen. As such, I was really looking forward to it, and perhaps that expectation contributed to my ultimate disappointment.Everyone looks gorgeous in this film (special praise for Tony Danza, a 65-year-old with a much younger man's physique: well done!), but apart from that, there isn't much to recommend it. If it's a comedy, we must have missed all the jokes because it just wasn't funny. The "late '80s North Jersey guido" stereotypes are all trotted out in quick succession, whereafter viewers are beaten over the head with them. The accents! The muscle cars! The tight clothing! The product-heavy hairstyles! The gratuitous shouting and swearing! The mother who endures it all for the unconditional love of her son! If there were an adaptation for the stage, I bet we'd have been sprayed with Drakkar Noir to complete the feeling.Other points: * The always delightful Julianne Moore is under-used here. * The exploration of a character's addiction to porn is at best a side show. This is not a film with really much depth at all.

Don Jon is a movie of staggering confidence, artistic swagger, and biting humour. It is especially impressive for a directorial debut. Joseph Gordon Levitt's control of tone in the service of an important, carefully observed, and nuanced story is amazing. Note the difference in pace, editing, and camera-work as The title character learns to see sex and relationships in the new light. The actors are universally good, rising above stereotype to deliver performances of deep understanding. Especially notable is Scarlett Johansson who turns out to be a comedian of great precision. There isn't a false note in the whole picture, which is brought in at an admirably concise 87 minutes. Levitt is building a whole career on surprises and daring. I look forward to what ever he does text.

I have mixed feelings about a movie. The film actually reflects our real life: the guy who addicted to porn because it is easy, accessible and acceptable, the girl, who is shallow, egoistic and think only about herself only. Jon's sister represents most of the people who cannot abandon their phones for five minutes. Jon's parent's demonstrates life of couple after thirty years of marriage: TV and arguments. Also, the movie touches religion, some people think that if they go to church, donate money and confess, all their sins will disappear. I think, it is not a comedy, it is a tragedy movie. It just shows how people are degrading. It made me really upset. At the end they show that there is hope. But it is like a thin thread that can pull main character from his problems.

Starts very well, very impressive for first-time feature writer/director Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Then in the middle it loses a lot of its potential (especially when Scarlett Johansson's character is revealed to be a total bitch, which makes absolutely no sense in Joseph's character wanting to keep her and acting like her dog, apologizing endlessly - even after they already split; It's like he totally lost his balls; I couldn't stand watching her character! Also, he ends up with a woman 20 years older than him, ahm... isn't that a LITTLE weird?). I wanted to like the film, but found myself doing some stuff while watching it.Also, I didn't understand whether Johansson's character was supposed to be Italian with this accent (first I thought she was supposed to be Jewish, but then you see her with a cross in one scene). It's funny that both lead actors, who are Jewish, are playing these very-Christian roles.I liked Tony Danza. Haven't seen him acting in years and he was hilarious in most of the scenes (the best one was when he meets his son's girlfriend for the first time - actually made me LOL). The whole interaction between him and his son (and their accent) is great.
