Review of Cyrus

Cyrus (I) (2010)
6/10
Not what it says on the tin
26 September 2022
I wanted to score this higher, but it felt like it never got going. The film was billed as a feud between lover and son, but this never really kicks off and it is only a sub plot in the whole film which is ultimately a love story. A word of warning, the comedy sequence at the beginning gives a false pretence of what you are to expect for the rest of the film.

The movie itself has a good story to it and a solid plot, with a few laughs. The cast were absolutely amazing. John C. Reilly plays a bumbling John, who is willing to sacrifice his own pride to win over the over protecting Molly; who is played by Marisa Tomei (is Tomei getting more beautiful with age, she is stunning in this flick). While Jonah Hill plays the immature and spoiled Cyrus. A good one to sit down with the other half and a glass of Féin, just not exactly what it says on the tin.
