Don Jon


Typical story of  boy meets girl, boy falls in love, boys heart gets broken, boy meets a much older girl, by the way boy is addicted to porn.  We have seen it a million times, at least those who are willing to admit it anyway.  Good movie!  Joseph Gordon-Levitt (JGL) really has some acting chops!  I have always liked his movies with exception to G.I. Joe, but he is actually a really good actor.  He not only acted in this one but wrote and directed it as well.  He embraces the East-Coast Goombah douche-bag character and plays the part of a selfish asshole perfectly.  I especially love the way he acts int he car driving because it is exactly like me!  So this good looking dude who is infamous for landing 8's or above at the clubs every weekend falls for a princess who ends up breaking his heart and he finds solace elsewhere and figures out that he doesn't have to big such an idiot all the time.  Great cast with Tony Danza playing a perfect role as an east coast dad.  I would give this a watch but keep in mind that your browser history needs to be deleted every night! :)

FYI: Channing Tatum was actually supposed to play the lead role but JGL decided he would do it himself.  Good choice, but wait for 22 Jump Street!
