Review of Don Jon

Don Jon (2013)
7/10
Hilarious and fearless!
2 October 2013
I am a Joseph Gordon Levitt die-hard fan now. It's hard to believe that someone so young is this talented. He wrote the script, directs the movie, stars in it, and does a fantastic job at all of those. This movie was absolutely hilarious! I have not laughed this hard since The Hangover. Don Jon portrays the effect of media in normal romantic life.

One character is addicted to porn while the other is hopelessly expecting her life to be one of her adored romantic films. This movie delights in mocking regular romantic comedies and their worn-out recipe. There is even a sad version of one starring Channing Tatum and Anne Hathaway within the film.

This film was realistic and fearless, humorous to the point of drink-spitting, originally well executed and very well cast. Audiences will be surprisingly pleased and eagerly awaiting more from JGL as a writer/director/actor combo.
