I was pleasantly surprised by how good this movie was. First, it’s R-rated for a reason, so don’t get caught off guard by that. If you can’t handle a man talking about masturbation and porn, then definitely stay away from this movie. However, if that doesn’t bother you, then get ready to laugh – because there are lots of funny lines and situations in this movie.
Basically, this is a movie about how a man might view sex. It’s incredibly honest and doesn’t hold back. But a word to women: this is obviously an extreme case, so don’t be fooled into thinking this is what all men think about. It isn’t. But it’s what most men think about, at least sometimes.
Two things that I really appreciated about the movie was how it went in unexpected directions. I’m not going to say where it goes, but I didn’t see it coming. Secondly, going into the movie I had my reservations because it’s less than an hour and a half long, not including the credits. Usually short movies like that sacrifice character development — or plot, or something else — in order to be so short. Not this film. The pacing was snappy. It moved right along and gave us exactly what the audience needs to see and nothing else. At the end I wasn’t left wanting more.

What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let's you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It's really a wonderful app. I've subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn't seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven't tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn't make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We'll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.

About The Peetimes: Both peetimes are good and plenty long, but I’d personally recommend using the second peetime. It has a lot of short scenes that are very easy to summarize.
There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Don Jon. (What we mean by Anything Extra)
Buy the movie from Amazon.com on DVD or Blu Ray
Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
