Cyrus (1:32)

Cyrus is a strange movie. When the trailers were shown in the theaters, viewers were lead to believe that Cyrus was a comedy about wacky characters. Well, the wacky was accurate but there is nothing lighthearted about Cyrus. Cyrus, played by Jonah Hill, is the twenty two year of son of  Molly (Marisa Tomei.) Molly  is the love interest of John, played by John C. Reilly. This does not sit well with Cyrus, he does not want to share his mother's attention. Cyrus professes to accept John but does everything he can to drive a wedge between John and his mother. John C. Reilly received a Spirit nomination for Best Actor and it is a shame that Hill didn't receive one for Best Supporting Actor. I really can't rave about this movie, there is an element to it that is rather creepy. The viewer, especially at the beginning, begins questioning about the relationship between mother and adult son, maybe is not a very healthy one. This is balance by the movie's end, when the viewer sees character growth in Cyrus and Molly. This movie, like all people, is flawed.
