New Jersey bartender Jon Martello knows what's important: his friends, his family, his car, his church, his sexual conquests -- and porn. In fact, Jon is a porn addict and has never had a genuine relationship with a woman. However, when he meets Barbara he has to change his operating methods, because Barbara won't be bedded easily. For the first time in his life, Jon begins a real courtship, but his obsession with erotica threatens to ruin everything.

Critics Consensus

Don Jon proves to be an amiable directing debut for Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and a vivacious showcase for his co-star, Scarlett Johansson.

Despite a rather limiting viewpoint on porn and what constitutes healthy sexuality, Don Jon is an enjoyable and very funny deconstruction of the ways in which we objectify each other and ourselves.

Don Jon is breezy, provocative and definitely makes for an interesting discourse of sex and relationships. Check it out.

As a simple and sweet coming-of-age story for the Jersey Shore generation, it's perfectly entertaining stuff.

'Don Jon' is largely a success that proves JGL a directorial talent to watch.

The result is unexpected, but the film manages to pole vault over the stereotypical trappings of both the narrative and the genre.

4/5

With romance in its cross-hairs and obsession at its fingertips, the end result of Don Jon is a challenging and worthy playing field that addresses just how wide that gap is between romance and obsession.

This film is so explicit as to make grown adults cringe. It's a pointless look at a man who is addicted to some awful things, a man who is not ashamed of his addictions. I don't find the story realistic in how this man, set in his ways, attempts change for a woman.

A not entirely bad but ultimately disappointing movie.

I really felt the ending. This movie was quite an experience and the lesson here really does go beyond just porn but can be applied to man things in life.

Don jon es una propuesta comica bastante interesante con un punto de vista bastante emocional ,las actuaciones en este film son impecables al igual que sus personajes , la conexión convencional del director Joseoh Gordon refresca a Don Jon como un gran debut.

Odd movie, not sure what to make of it, but it had Scarlett in it, so 3 stars for that I suppose.

For what it is well-made and with a good ensemble, the plot itself (and the main Character) are quite off-putting.
