Review - Cyrus (2010)

John is seven years divorced from his wife and is having trouble adjusting to his new life. After meeting Molly at a party, he thinks that maybe he has found the perfect person again. There's just one problem: Cyrus, Molly's grown son. John must try to continue his relationship with Molly despite intentional and supposedly unintentional interference by Cyrus.


Cyrus is a brilliant, simple story, with some hilariously awkward moments. Whilst the story is simple, it is told at a great pace and has some great performances by Step Brothers star John C Reilly and Superbad's Jonah Hill, as well as a sweet performance from the lovely Marisa Tomei.


The film has done well at some film festivals, as a low budget film, Cyrus really delivers a heart warming with some great moments of comedy and romance.
