MPR Movie Maven and Cube Critic Stephanie Curtis joins Steve Seel and and Jill Riley to review a new comedy written and directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who stars alongside Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore and Tony Danza. Stephanie gives Gordon-Levitt high marks for directing, and calls Don Jon "a lovely romantic comedy."

Don Jon is rated R; the film touches on pornography addiction, so Stephanie advises, "Don't see it on a first date, don't go with your parents, don't take your kids."

The film is in very wide release, showing in movie theaters throughout the region.

MPR's Movie Maven, Stephanie Curtis, joins The Current's Morning Show to talk about films every Friday at 8:30 a.m.
