Alex's Review: Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a truly talented actor who is able to deliver powerful and intriguing performances time after time. Over the course of his career he has made quite an impact. Now with Don Jon, he steps up his game and settles in the directors chair to direct this comedy. At first glance this movie looks like a far superior take on the romantic comedy genre that I've seen. While I absolutely despise this genre, Don Jon looks like it has potential. Usually comedies like this tend to lose steam towards the end, hopefully Gordon-Levitt's direction will give us something that differs significantly from the usual rom coms.This film looks like it will be one of the finest comedies of the year, hopefully it won't disappoint.
Sam's Review: Anyone else remember when Joseph Gordon-Levitt played Cobra Commander in GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra? Well, I do and since then he has become such an incredible actor and to me he is one of the best working actors right now. He's always been a great actor (see one of his earlier films Brick) and now he's taking on the role of being a writer/director with his upcoming film Don Jon. In this film he is the writer, director, and the star. I've heard a little bit about this film while it was showing at Sundance and was really interested in seeing a trailer for it and now that I've seen the first trailer I can say that this movie looks great. The whole concept for this movie just looks so original and different from most comedies that come out today. One thing that made this such a magnificent trailer is that it was edited beautifully, especially when JGL's character was listing of the most important things of his life. As far as acting goes it looks like it could be really good. JGL is always great and so far Scarlett Johansson looks like she could give a great performance. Another plus for this trailer is having the main song be "Good Vibrations" by Marky Mark. So far Don Jon has me interested and is now one of my most anticipated for the rest of the year, JGL I think you might have a hit on your hands!
