Cyrus (2010)
Brothers Jay and Mark Duplass write and direct this comedy-drama staring John C. Reilly, Jonah Hill and Marisa Tomei. A divorcee meets a single mother but their relationship falls foul of the woman's 21 year old son.
There are elements of this film that are good but I am not sure it really knows what it wants to be. I thought the relationship between the main characters provided a good base but the comedic elements were not pushed far enough to be a full comedy. The wobbly faux-amateur camera work was just annoying and seemed pretty pointless. In the end despite the positive elements this film just feels like wasted potential.
2/5
