I was expecting a funny movie, and although there were some funny moments, it was actually a relatively enjoyable psyche drama.

Memorable for being a romantic comedy about codependency.

Not what I was expecting, but all-in-all a pleasant surprise. "Cyrus" turned out to be an unusually offbeat and dark comedy, well performed by the three central cast members. It feels a little lightweight in the middle, and perhaps lacks a little bit of development plot wise, but even so there are some good laughs and surprisingly some quite touching scenes throughout this movie. Not bad.

Honest movie about complex characters that totally avoids changing into full mainstream mode at all time. Great acting even by Jonah Hill.

I could start every review with this sentence, but here it goes. The marketing on this movie was really off. It has funny moments, but it's slightly funny and slightly moving, but doesn't really transcend in either category. The performances are really good though. It's kind of a second rate indie dramedy, but still worth watching if you love you some John C. Reilly. And who doesn't.

Same old ending but I still like it. Reilly and Hill were pretty good together.

I think this movie should've been called awkward because that is exactly how I felt watching it. It's weird, it's uncomfortable and it's definitely NOT a comedy (as many sites classify it). The only time I really laughed was when it ended and I saw the other people in the theater equally as confused/dissapointed. Oh, that and watching a couple storm out 35 minutes into the film (first time I ever see that).

A run-of-the-mill comedy set-up, except it's directed by someone who thinks it should be a psychological thriller. The mix works. Creepy, funny, unpredictable.

smooth film but that deep or funny.

Amusing in an uncomfortable/creepy sort of way.

it was kinda funny but nothing really that great.

No one can accuse the filmmakers of forcing any jokes here. Laid back, but always careful, all of the humor here is a natural outgrowth of some pretty well delineated characters, who r brought 2 life by some quality actors. Although the approach is 2 understated to b hysterical, it makes 4 an unusually thoughtful comedy that takes a situation that could easily play out in a 1000 contrived ways, but makes sure it never does. In a lot of ways this is the anti-Sandler.

'Cyrus' has a lot of buildup, and I mean a lot of buildup---to the point where John C. Reilly and Jonah Hill start budding heads a little too late in the game. I will admit I did enjoy several moments of 'Cyrus,' but so much opportunity and potential fell through the cracks. What we have left is a mildly amusing indie that should very well have taken its proceedings further and faster. It really could have been something.

I went into it expecting 'Step Brothers 2' but instead got a weird and at times realistic dramatic black comedy. Not great, but good.

John C Reilly and Jonah Hill are both great.

John C Reilly, Marisa Tomei and Jonah Hill all give great performances in this film. There are many awkward moments in this film and the script makes all the main characters interesting. I highly recommend this quirky indie film.

John C Reilly is bitter and divorced, Marisa Tomei is a kooky single mom, and they hit it off right away... or would, if not for Marisa's 21-year-old son who's had his mom to himself his whole life and knows exactly which buttons to push. Fumbling relationship drama about a fumbling relationship, which doesn't always work but works very nicely when it does. Just don't expect any big laughs.

Good entertainment. But I don't get why it has been labelled as 'Comedy'. I don't remember laughing or chuckling during the film. Its more of a good written drama, with decent acting. If you don't expect more, I think you might get more out of it.

Decent but a little bit one-note.

enough with the instant-zooms already!

"Jay and Mark Duplass inch closer to successfully infusing comedy-of-awkwardness with pained pathos in Cyrus, a big-studio mumblecore hybrid of Mr. Woodcock and the Martin Short-Charles Grodin vehicle Clifford." - Nick Schager

Convincingly managing shifts in tone that would have spelled disaster for most movies, "Cyrus" is part pitch-black comedy, part (melo)drama. Hill and Reilly, taking a refreshing step away from fart jokes, bring out the best in each other in a story about family ties, Freudian relations, love, loss, happiness and deep depression. There are no major revelations to be had here, but the Duplass brothers show maturity and a rare willingness to infuse mainstream cinema with off-hand weirdness.

Funny but a little too weird
