What is your review of Don Jon (2013 movie)?
★★★Leaning toward being an R-rated sitcom, this New Jersey flavored is both amusing and personal. Very few missteps in this debut behind the screen for Gordon-Levitt.Gordon-Levitt has really delves into the nature of relationships and how we tend to make them for our own sake, be it porn, church, friends or family. This brings us to many odd moments were it is funny, yet also sort of pathetic. But the funny keeps our sympathy. Johansson is sweet, sexy, 'Jersey', and sexy. Oh, did I say that one twice? Both a foil and a mirror of Don Jon's character in her own way, she inhabits the character with such cuteness that you really don't see her flaws until Don Jon does.There are some lazy plot choices at the end to resolve the title character's problems in life. Wrapping it all with a lovely little bow was not satisfying, despite a couple of well written scenes in the closing act. The catharsis never feels genuine.But these are small complaints for a "first-time" writer/director (he's actually done five shorts before this film). And the quibbles might partially be the fault of the studio, who generally demand happy endings. This honest and inside look shows that JGL has quite a bit of talent.

Your thoughts on the movie Don Jon?
I watched this for the first time the other day. There were aspects of the movie I enjoyed and some really funny scenes (The Carls Jr. Comercial at the dinner table had me rolling). There were also some scenes that I just thought were too over the top.
Do they show penis on Don Jon?
I want to know if the movie shows penis because if they do I won't watch it then. I am fine if a female's body is shown but are their any guys that go naked.
Do Americans watch movies and recognise the places that the movies are filmed in?
Yes. In fact, if you’re lucky, you might even happen to wander past while they’re making the film.I was driving through a neighboring town one day and saw a film crew working at a local bank. They had lights set against all of the windows and the parking lot was full of trucks. About a year later the film “A Life Less Ordinary” came out and I realized they’d been shooting the bank robbery scene the day I drove by.In the film, they leave the bank and drive for several minutes before stopping at a convenience store. In real life, the convenience store is at the other end of the block — a drive of about a minute. Ah…the magic of cinema!The convenience store is gone, but the bank still stands. Every now and then as I drive by I think about the fact that Ewan MacGregor was there for a brief time two decades ago and I realize how very small the world really is.
