Don Jon (2013) 8/10

Starring : Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore
Director : Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Running Time : 91 mins

Jon Martello (Levitt) is a womaniser and is addicted to porn, but when he meets Barbara Sugarman (Johansson) he put his womanising ways aside to pursue a meaningful relationship with her, but he doesn’t want to give up his porn watching habit. When she catches him masturbating, she is disgusted and breaks up with him, so now Jon has to find a way to wither wean himself off porn or face the fact that he can never be happy with a real life woman.

This is a funny movie that surprisingly seems to take the side of Levitt over Johansson, most noticeably in the scene where she says it is embarrassing to be seen with him buying cleaning products. In some ways Levitt’s character is quite a modern man, but his views on women are pure Neanderthal from beginning to end. Fans of Levitt’s work in Women In Trouble and Elektra Luxx will love this, his directorial debut.
