The directorial debut of Gordon-Levitt was definitely a success. Job well done. This story isn't anything new or amazing but it is particularly apt for the time. Masculinity, sexuality, and the role of men in our society are all very important topics that seldom meet with much discussion outside of academia. And even within academic circles the issues facing young men today are often swept aside. I liked Don Jon. I know lots of young(ish) men who have unrealistic expectations and goals about life and relationships. Many young women, too. This film is a lighter take on our strange and confusing "social" world.
