When it’s time to post something about DON JON, it’s hard not to quote the classic Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch song “Good Vibrations”. I’m sorry, it gives me sweet sensations. Okay, I’m done with that now.
These two new clips from the film show Jon (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Barbara (Scarlett Johansson) at different points in their relationship. Johansson is the scene stealer in both of these. I can’t get over her body language in the first clip. Everything about her in this role is perfect. But in the second clip, she winds up having a problem with grown folks cleaning their own homes which is sort of strange. Just let Jon clean his damn house!
Synopsis: 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.
DON JON hits theaters on October 18, 2013.
