It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Excellent but underrated film

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

To start off, the first time I saw this movie I was sixteen years old, so my opinion back then was that this movie was absolutely disgusting.This year I watched it again, only this time I am eighteen. And what I retained from it was a change, first Jon was like the name says a Don Jon but then when he meets this woman who show's him that he has to lose himself in others he completely changes! So what I think is that this movie illustrates very well our nowadays society, a huge part of men and women only think about sex, their own pleasure, instead of connecting and really feeling/living the moment as a unique experience not as thing that you do with however goes your way every Friday night. Suming up, this a movie worth watching, not one of my favorites but not bad either! It shows how most of the people act but only a few have the ability to realize what Jon did.

I wanted to see Joseph Gorden- Levitt's movie Don Jon, because I saw him in 'Mysterious Skin' directed by Gregg Araki. Joseph was good when he was young. He really knew how to act and he would put emotions in the character which would make you cry. But I was totally disappointed at Joseph in this character in Don Jon. He forgot how to act. He thought that he could really play a New Yorker and Italian plus Joseph, comedy is really hard. You are not a comedy actor. Why would you choose to write and direct and then you wanted to be a lead actor in it too. There was no real plot in the film and actors were just superficial and there was nothing natural about them. There was vulgar sex like every 10 minutes as if that was the way to keep audience engaged. Scarlett Johansson was struggling to produce New Yorker accent and I don't really care about her acting anyways. I don't know who wanted to put money into this film. Ryan Kavanaugh kept putting money into bad films that's why he is bankrupt.

This movie deals with a bunch of issues which will more likely than not ring true with guys in their 20s on more than one occasion.JGL has made the movie light-hearted enough to make it entertaining throughout, but not at the expense of the underlying emotional themes or the commendable growth of Jon; which many will be able to relate to, and hopefully, learn from.From the initially egocentric Jon, to the needy and confused Barbara, all the way to the overbearing parents and comical clubbing scenes with mates, this movie hits the right note from scene to scene.After seeing this, I will have my ears firmly perked up in future for projects which involve JGL so heavily, as this fine film does.

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.
