Don Jon

Don Jon (2013) starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore. Gordon-Levitt, who also wrote and directed, stars as a playa named Jon who can get women any time he wants but still prefers Internet porn. He gets involved with Barbara (Johansson), who catches him watching porn and makes him promise to quit watching it. Meanwhile, Barbara pushes him to take an evening class to improve himself, and there he meets Esther (Moore), an older woman who is more understanding of his porn habit. The movie gets a lot of its laughs from Jon's weekly attendance at church and his visits to the confessional booth. This is a movie aimed more at younger viewers, and I found that I had a little trouble relating to it. Nevertheless, it provided for a satisfactory evening's entertainment. (Subtitles for the hearing-impaired are available.) Grade: B
