With John’s social life at a standstill and his ex-wife
about to get remarried, a down on his luck divorcee finally meets the woman
of his dreams, only to discover she has another man in her life – her son.
Written and directed by Jay and Mark Duplass, the iconoclastic filmmaking
team behind Sundance Film Festival favorite THE PUFFY CHAIR, CYRUS takes an
insightful and funny look at love and family in contemporary Los Angeles.
Still single seven years after the breakup of his marriage, John (John
C. Reilly) has all but given up on romance. But at the urging of his ex-wife
and best friend Jamie (Catherine Keener), John grudgingly agrees to join her
and her fiancé Tim (Matt Walsh) at a party. To his and everyone else’s
surprise, he actually manages to meet someone: the gorgeous and spirited
Molly (Marisa Tomei).
Their chemistry is immediate. The relationship
takes off quickly but Molly is oddly reluctant to take the relationship
beyond John’s house. Perplexed, he follows her home and discovers the other
man in Molly’s life: her son, Cyrus (Jonah Hill). A 21-year-old new age
musician, Cyrus is his mom’s best friend and shares an unconventional
relationship with her. Cyrus will go to any lengths to protect Molly and is
definitely not ready to share her with anyone, especially John. Before long,
the two are locked in a battle of wits for the woman they both love—and it
appears only one man can be left standing when it’s over.
