Cyrus (2010)

In Cyrus John C. Reilly plays John, a kind but awkward man who is recently divorced and feeling lonely. At a party thrown by his ex-wife he meets the girl of his dreams. Everything is going great until he meets her son, Cyrus (Jonah Hill). Cyrus is a manipulative little creep who acts nice to John at first but we soon see his alternative motive is to chase John away from his mom.
While there are definitely some funny moments, this movie left me feeling uncomfortable. John C. Reilly and Jonah Hill both play their characters wonderfully and have some great moments together. Overall however I felt like this movie could have been much more.









Rating: 3/5 ***
