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.

John C Reilly and Jonah Hill are both great.

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.

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.

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.

it was kinda funny but nothing really that great.

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

'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.

Memorable for being a romantic comedy about codependency.

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

Pretty decent overall.

Quirky rather than funny. I think my expectations were too high so I was slightly disappointed but still worth a watch - for the slowly unfolding character development of all.

Maris Tomei and John C. Reilly are great in this, but this is really Jonah Hill's movie. His character is so unsettling and frightening that I found myself cowering at certain moments as if this were a horror movie. Where most films would have been lazy and revealed the malice in obvious and cartoonish ways, Cyrus builds tension slowly and methodically to allow maximum impact in its climax.

A pleasant if unremarkable effort from the Duplass brothers.

This movie seems to have weak reviews. After the second time of watching it (the next day) I grew more fond of it. I enjoyed it.

Decent but a little bit one-note.

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.

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.
