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.

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.

It's hard to make a good movie about addiction, but this one is awesome. Very captivating. My only complaint is that there's no way Joseph Gordon--Levitt is a college student.

An interesting story on porn and relationships. A bit raunchy but funny with a feel good ending.

I really didn’t expect to like this one too much, but it really surprised me. The story was well done with characters that felt real and fun to watch. Great cast and I appreciated the deep story it really told

Interesting characters by some well known actors early in their careers, that dry humor that I adore and a thoughtful story of growth from an unexpected direction, Don Jon is a pleasure to watch. Yes, it’s clunky and rough, but it’s also refreshing, unpretentious and poignant in its own humble way. Don’t like the characters? You’re not necessarily supposed to, dumbass. I actually loved the film and think it’s underrated.
