Yes, the Duplass brothers are South by Southwest darlings. Everyone seems to love the mumblecore duo--everyone except this little lady here. I tend to hate mumblecore, pretentious shit. No thank you. However... I <3 John C. Reilly, and Jonah Hill can make me laugh sometimes. So, I'm willing to put my loathing of the Duplass brothers aside and check out their latest flick, Cyrus. Actually, the buzz from Sundance is that this film is a slight departure for them--mainly because it features real stars and has a major studio behind it. Whatever. It's supposed to be good, and, from the plot synopsis, it sounds pretty funny.
John (Reilly) is a depressed, recently single dude who is pretty much a loser. At a party, he hooks up with the hot Molly (Marisa Tomei) who has an adult son, Cyrus. Cyrus (Hill) and his mom have a weird relationship that creeps John out a little. But Molly seems otherwise perfect, so what’s John to do? Deal with Cyrus. (I'm willing to overlook the fact that there is NO way Marisa Tomei could have ever given birth to Jonah Hill.)
Cyrus premieres at the Paramount Saturday, March 13 at 9:30pm.
