Watching
Don Jon is like watching a more enlightened episode of Jersey Shore. It goes as
deep as to say what Jon likes to do, and show us what he does in his private
life, but it never delves more than skin-deep. It isn’t boring, but it isn’t
entertaining either. Let’s just say that Don is not my kind of person, and his
story is about as interesting as an episode of Keeping Up with the
Kardashian’s. It’s good in the way that it shows what many young-adults are
like, through highlighting this generations ever growing obsession with clubs,
one-night-stands, and perfect self-image. It’s bad in the way that it never
breaks character, making it a repetitive story that shows little depth. I like
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, but Don Jon is a movie that didn’t need to happen.
