‘Cyrus' offers enjoyable movie-going experience

By Duncan Bryer | July 29, 2010

In a particularly memorable scene, Cyrus (Jonah Hill) assures John (John C. Reilly) that he is "out of [his] league," to which John responds, "If you want to mess with me, I'm gonna mess with you right back." So begins Mark and Jay Duplass' "Cyrus," a hilarious battle of wits that presents a fresh twist on the classic "fight for the girl" storyline. Cyrus and John are fighting over Molly (Marisa Tomei), Cyrus' beloved mother and John's new girlfriend in this humorously bizarre "love triangle." The film is a comedy, drama and romance all rolled into one and makes for an hour and a half of solid entertainment. In this "dromanedy," John a hapless loner recently informed of his ex-wife's engagement falls for the similarly lonely, yet very beautiful Molly.
