Watching the movie Cyrus this summer has been a refreshing change of pace for me. The film is one of those quirky little indie comedies that we don't see enough of these days. The film stars John C. Riley as a single loner looking to make a connection with woman that will hopefully change his life for the better. Early on he meets a beautiful woman played by the always wonderful Marisa Tomei. A sweet relationship begins to blossom and everything in his life starts to fall into place. That is until he unexpectedly meets Jonah Hill's character who just happens to be the son of Tomei. What ensues is a great tennis match of comedic tension between these two funny men. Both vying to be the most important man in Tomei's life. The script is funny, but nothing exceptional. What really makes this movie worth checking out is the subtle comedy between the three co-leads. Cyrus is a sweet little movie that you may find yourself caring about more than you expected.
