Review of Cyrus (2010) by Matt S — 14 Jul 2011
An pretty eccentric comedy/drama that was handled in a very real, naturalistic way with three strong central performances from its three leads John C. Reilly, Jonah Hill and Marisa Tomei. The film had an amusing, hysterical start but as it moved along it became more and more slow moving and tedious and not the laugh out loud Step Brothers like film I was hoping it will be and in fact it was more deeper and meaningful than that and more of a character study but a pretty entertaining one at that.
In the end it was not really clear in was it was going for weather it was comedy, drama or what the point was maybe it was about letting go, being truthful and making room for new people and accepting them in your life, I just don't know.
Overall it had a promising start but never fully ran with it and never full ignited and just became more of a honest dramedy than being truly fufilling and even as a whole in the end but because the actors shine in this one I can let go of the flaws and go ahead a recommend this movie as a rental if you have nothing better to watch.
More of a 2.5 out of 5 stars.
