With John's social life at a standstill and his ex-wife about to get remarried, a down on his luck divorcé finally meets the woman of his dreams, only to discover she has another man in her life - her son. Still single seven years after the breakup of his marriage, John has all but given up on romance. But at the urging of his ex-wife and best friend Jamie, John grudgingly agrees to join her and her fiancé Tim at a party. To his and everyone else's surprise, he actually manages to meet someone: the gorgeous and spirited Molly. 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. 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.

| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternA dulcetly crazy, certifiably hilarious and eerily mysterious little comedy. |
| Movie RetrieverBrian TallericoA heartbreakingly real and hilarious character study about a man trying to put the pieces back together and discovering one of the new ones in his life doesn't quite fit. Don't miss it. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallThere's no way to make this a feel-good movie, and admirably the Duplass brothers don't try. Cyrus finds its humor in dark places, through characters bringing out the worst in each other. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsA comedy of discomfort that walks a wonderful line between reality-based emotional honesty and engaging humor, it demonstrates the good things that happen when quirky independent style combines with top-of-the-line acting skill. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumChris Bumbraya highly entertaining, even somewhat moving comedy |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersThankfully an increase in both star wattage and finances has not distracted the brothers one single bit, their darkly acerbic comedy one of the better %u2013 and funnier %u2013 motion pictures I've had the delight to view this year. |
| Boston PhoenixPeter KeoughElliptical, nuanced, and non-judgmental, with hilariously genuine dialogue and exquisite performances, all of it observed with the probing eye of a Frederick Wiseman documentary. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellThe Brothers Duplass find humor and a lot of truth in those moments between spoken words, when the flick of an eyelid, the pulse of a vein or the purse of the lips can betray things that might otherwise not be stated. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekThe anti-Hollywood Hollywood romantic comedy, naturalistic and acerbic rather than slick and saccharine. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldCyrus stays with you for a while after it's over; like an odd, unexpected party guest who nonetheless leaves an indelible impression. |
