Art-House Comedies:
Don
Jon (Joseph
Gordon-Levitt) – Romantic Comedy – Sep 27
Plot Summary: Don Jon is a typical New Jersey guy.
He is dedicated to his friends, family, church, body, and car. But after
watching too much porn, he has unreal expectations when it comes to girls and
love. To find happiness with his potential true love, he must work through his
intimacy issues. Filmmakers: Don Jon marks the
directorial debut for writer-director Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who we all know
from his acting (things like 3rd
Rock from the Sun, Brick,
Inception,
and Looper).
He is working with composer Nathan
Johnson (Looper), cinematographer Thomas Kloss (Conan the Barbarian), and
production designer Meghan Rogers.
Cast: Joseph Gordon-Levitt also stars opposite
Scarlett Johansson, while Julianne Moore, Tony Danza, Glenne Heady, Brie Larson, and Rob Brown feature in support. Expectations: Don Jon has an excellent cast and
looks like a refreshingly different and funny romantic comedy (for a change).
While it did not fully charm critics at the Sundance Film Festival this year,
it was a favorite among audience members. This is worth checking out for fans
of romantic comedies that are ready for something a little different. Trailer: Here. Review: Here.
