Most people who know me know that I am a movie lover...a real, genuine, lover of the medium of movies. And they don't even have to be very good for me to like them...I just like movies. Add to that that I think that Scarlett Johansen is one of the most talented, classy, beautiful, and charismatic young actresses in movies today. Now try to imagine how horrible a movie has to be that she stars in, that has a supporting cast that includes Glenne Headly, for me to say that that movie DOES NOT HAVE EVEN ONE REDEEMING QUALITY !!! Several years ago a movie came out that had in the leading roles two absolute "A" list stars; it was a WW II spy thriller that was getting rave revues. Because of my finances at the time, I didn't go to see it when it first came out...I waited until it came to the one dollar theater around the corner from where I lived. It was SO bad that, not only did I walk out, but I demanded my dollar back, and the next day, wrote a letter to the production company telling them what an insult to humanity that piece of crap was. What's my point ? you ask...Well, I answer, that stinkburger was leaps and bounds better than the little gem that prompted me to write this...an absolute pile of trash entitled "Don Jon". AVOID THIS TRASH AT ALL COSTS. I consider myself to be a fairly articulate individual, but, I swear, I have no words to describe how awful this thing is. My fondest hope is that Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who wrote, directed, and stars in this garbage pit is never allowed near a camera or a film set again...that would be doing the universe at large an ENORMOUS favor.
