January 1, 2012First Review of 2012 "Cyrus":
The fantastic ensemble really give off the feeling that they genuinely are a disfunctional family because of amazing chemistry with eachother and still manage to bring some laughs with it. The Duplas' have created a smart and believable movie with a... read more -
October 25, 2011fb576007796Sneaky funny. John C. Reilly delivers as usual, Jonah Hill is a hilarious creep.

August 15, 2011The Duplass Brothers, show a good film with a good screenplay and direction. A unexpected film, funny and entertaining. Fresh.

August 6, 2011Not what I expected (I mean you see John C Reilly and Jonah Hill on a DVD cover you kind of expect a comedy), and while this was funny in a black way, it was not the type of funny you would necessarily expect.
This was quite a twisted little story about what happens when you da... read more -
July 12, 2011Cyrus isn't a bad movie but its not a very good one either. Its got a few legitimately funny moments. Jonah Hill doesn't do his usual non-blinking, one-trick pony shtick but you still have to look at his creepy ass. The cast was generally decent but the story was pretty predictab... read more

May 30, 2011Ugh. Reilly, Tomei, Keener, and even Hill deserve better. And I don't mean that in terms of the script because as this movie clearly shows, they can make anything work. I mean in terms of the filmmaking itself, these guys deserve better. I thought we were past the whole things lo... read more

May 29, 2011Though an undeniably slight work, "Cyrus" is a highly enjoyable little film from the Duplass Brothers. Believable characters and writing, and the perfectly eclectic blend of laughs, uncomfortable situations, and (serious) heart make for a very likable film. Ninety minutes well sp... read more

May 28, 2011Cyrus is a very amusing look at three different relationships, with most of the laughs coming from the John, Cyrus relationship. I like seeing comedies like this. Its such a break from the majority of comedies that come out. I love everyone involved in this movie also, so that he... read more

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
Even at its most troubling, Cyrus is powered by a deep vein of humanism, one that offers hope to even the weirdest among us. Full Review

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Nobody can play beaten and amusing better than Reilly, and no one is better at playing broken, accessible beauty than Tomei. Full Review

Tom Maurstad, Dallas Morning News
A movie that melds creepy and comic so seamlessly that almost every laugh is undercut by a cringe. Full Review

Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
Although Hill certainly has been good in previous roles, this goes beyond what we've seen. Full Review

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
The byplay between Reilly and Hill is sublime. Full Review

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
The questions here are good; it's the answers that feel like a cheat. Full Review

J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
Jonah Hill delivers a craftier comic performance than anything in his box-office hits, but what really elevates the story above its shticky premise is the combined neuroses of all three characters. Full Review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
The Duplasses are showing how modern Americans think, talk and live. Full Review
