Cyrus

I wouldn't recommend spending money on Cyrus. It's a bit of a laugh if you know what John C. Reilly and Jonah Hill normally do, but otherwise it's just weird and sad. The movie doesn't really have a point; if it was meant to be a comedy, it fell short; if it was meant to be a romantic comedy, it fell short; if it was meant to be dramatic, it failed miserably. I mean, it's apparent that with Reilly and Hill on the cast that it should have been funny. But they add the awkward factor in such a strange way that it largely obscures the comedic portions.

Same with the romantic parts: Marissa Tomei is beautiful. Reilly is fugly. How did this entire movie even happen? Does Tomei's character have a hidden penchant for pathetic ugly dudes? I mean it would make sense if Jonah Hill's father was one. At the very least it would show where he gets it.

Jonah Hill is the definition of Fat as hell. Seriously. One of my friends described him as a balloon, which is entirely accurate given the fact that he has like, weird womanly stick legs under a two hundred pound upper body. It's weird and scary. It also brings a strange sense of comeuppance when John C. Reilly just straight up says "Listen up, you little weirdo."

So yeah, my short description would definitely be "pretty terrible." Not worth the time or the money.
