A couple nights ago I watched the indie comedy, Cyrus. It was unexpectedly hilarious! A divorced, socially awkward man (John C. Reilly) finally meets the woman of his dreams who finds him absolutely charming and not at all stalkerish (Marisa Tomei). After following her home one day, he meets her son (Jonah Hill), who is extremely, uncomfortably close to his mother. Don't worry, it's not a dirty relationship at all. They make electronic music and take pictures together and have all sorts of weird rules in their home. They're more of best friends than mother and son. I could not stop laughing. I wish this movie had gotten more buzz in 2010. It was the official selection for both SXSW and Sundance but should have been right up there with "The Kids Are All Right." It is a quirky romance showing the unexpected complications of love.
