It's positively brilliant, darkly funny and incredibly well made.
Cyrus is a "Romantic" Comedy film from the Duplass brothers starring Jonah Hill, John C Reilly and Marisa Tomei. It's a film I had been looking forward to seeing after enjoying the trailer and being intrigued by what appeared to be a brilliant cast in an original idea. But does it deliver?Still single seven years after the collapse of his marriage, John (Reilly) has given up on romance. Forced by his ex-wife and now best friend to attend a party, he surprises everyone by meeting Molly (Tomei) and the instant chemistry leads to what seems a perfect partner for the lonesome John. That is until he meets Molly's son, Cyrus (Hill), whose relationship with his mother is a touch unconventional and he is definitely not ready to share her with anyone.Before seeing Cyrus I was on the back of two rom-com screenings of The Switch and Going the Distance, both slightly different tales of relationships and both films I enjoyed with different levels of appreciation. I was kind of...

Heartfelt, beautifully acted and delivered. A breath of fresh air from Hollywood.
Trust me, this movie is very good.The acting is very natural and the chemistry between the characters is top notch.Not a comedy in the sense of typical Hollywood humor but a 'thinking persons' comedy.A "dramedy", since it leans more towards rhe drama.I would love a soundtrack listing, or even a full print of the credits...It is a nice fresh film that is very well delivered.My Goodness me, the script, the acting, the casting, are all top rate. Reilly has never been better. Marisa Tomei is OUTSTANDING! She deserves the Oscar and Bafta!IF YOU LIKED... Little Miss Sunshine, Juno, Greenberg, Once Around... YOU'LL LIKE THIS ONE !

Product Description
John C. Reilly, Jonah Hill and Oscar® Winner Marisa Tomei star in this quirky, hilarious story about love, family and cutting the cord. Not-so-recently divorced John (Reilly) thinks he’s finally found the perfect woman when he meets the sweet and sexy Molly (Tomei). There’s just one problem – Molly’s son Cyrus (Hill) clings to his mom like lint on a T-shirt, and he’s not about to let another man come between them. It’s one hysterically awkward moment after another as John and Cyrus fight for the right to be Molly’s #1 man. Top to learn more
If Oedipus' Mom looked like Marisa Tomei, who could blame him?" Marisa Tomei shouts "OSCAR"!
"Jay and Mark Duplass have been bumbling around in the mumblecore bowels of the indie world for nearly a decade now, taking off-beat premises and exploring the relationship dynamics that arise from them; no one, in fact, is better at extracting the honesty out of a spectacularly bizarre situation. Cyrus is more of the same -- a genuine, heartfelt comedy that organically explores the relationship between a 22-year-old live-at-home layabout, Cyrus (Jonah Hill), and his mother's new boyfriend, John (John C. Reilly). The wrinkle here is that Cyrus and his mother, Molly (Marisa Tomei), have a borderline Oedipal relationship. They're best friends. They share the bathroom together. Molly still coddles Cyrus to sleep. And they wrestle together at the park. They are, indeed, like an old married couple minus the bickering and the occasional sex, though it seems, sometimes, that it's not for lack of want, on Cyrus' part.John, divorced from his boss Jamie (Catherine Keener) seven...
