Review of Don Jon

Don Jon (2013)
1/10
Very shallow script
10 January 2014
Just watched it. The idea of movie is OK, porn is not what to espect in real life etc. but the script and the characters are extremely shallow and stupid. Including the family of the main actor in the movie. The only character that shows some kind of a more in-depth is Julian Moores character but she is only present in 15min of the whole movie. The friends of a dude are idiots too. To sumarize, the author took more of a statement "porn is not what to expect in real life" than an idea and it could be shown in 10min. The main characters, friends and family have an IQ of 90, even if its trying to be caricatured it is bad. I know people in real life that resembles the stupidity of main character and his girlfriend, but everything in this movie is so shallow and superficial. I have seen movies with score lower than 6 that are better than this 7.2 crap, and I give it a 4, but acctualy I give it 1 to lower the far overrated 7.2 score.

On directing and camera I have absolutely no remarks, Levitt obviously learned a lot from directors of movies and series he was in before. But script and profiling of characters, total fail.

Also the movie characters reminded me on movie Idiocracy http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2 which is kinda what the world is becoming more and more every day, just look at the scores of this movie...
