"First viewing - Jan. 13th I remember being curious about Don Jon when it came out, but for whatever reason I let it pass me by. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is one of my favorite actors, however, so I was curious to see what he'd come up with as a director. And I thought he did an excellent job his first time out.

"1.4. Joseph Gordon-Levitt katselee pornoa ja kaataa naisia joiden jynssääminen ei tunnu miltään. Ideatasolla Don Jon yrittää sanoa jotain, mutta sen ongelmat ovat massiivisia. Ensinnäkin elokuva on visuaalisesti niin mitäänsanomattoman tylsä, etten ihan aidosti pysty keksimään pätevää syytä sille, miksi Don Jon on edes elokuva.
