Jon Martello (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a strong, handsome, good old fashioned guy. His buddies call him Don Jon due to his ability to "pull" a different woman every weekend, but even the finest fling doesn't compare to the bliss he finds alone in front of the computer watching… More Jon Martello (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a strong, handsome, good old fashioned guy. His buddies call him Don Jon due to his ability to "pull" a different woman every weekend, but even the finest fling doesn't compare to the bliss he finds alone in front of the computer watching pornography. Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson) is a bright, beautiful, good old fashioned girl. Raised on romantic Hollywood movies, she's determined to find her Prince Charming and ride off into the sunset. Wrestling with good old fashioned expectations of the opposite sex, Jon and Barbara struggle against a media culture full of false fantasies to try and find true intimacy in this unexpected comedy written and directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Critic Reviews

William Goss, Film.com
Often light on its feet, bolstered by the reliable charms and writing chops of its leading man.

Meredith Borders, Badass Digest
It's an admirable effort and a lot of fun. I only wish it weren't trying quite so hard, or that by trying so hard it doesn't still manage to undermine its own lesson.

Edward Douglas, ComingSoon.net
A truly original character piece, hilariously funny and poignant, with enough humor and heart that more people will be able to relate to the characters than they'll care to admit.
-
Jordan Hoffman, ScreenCrush
A bold choice

Fred Topel, CraveOnline
Joseph Gordon-Levitt has turned out to be quite a good director. He has a very powerful style of editing and incorporating sound and music cues, with a light touch that's so important in communicating with an audience.
