Review: Cyrus

How many times has the "awkward/quirky but fun" independent romantic-comedy been done now? Too many times to count, at least in my mind. Sometimes it works really well (500 Days of Summer was, in my opinion, one of the best films of last year), while sometimes it falls flat.

The latest in the genre is Cyrus, a relationship dramedy starring John C. Reilly, Jonah Hill, and Marisa Tomei. How does it stack up against the rest of the hit or miss film that have preceded it?

Review: Get Him To The Greek

The spin-off is a funny thing. Spin-offs usually focus on a character from another show or movie, one that was a favorite of fans and sometimes even stole the show. Some work well (Laverne and Shirley), and some fall flat (Joey). In the end, it's all about being able to place the central character in their own situation or environment where they can stand on their own, where we are interested in their story and they keep us entertained. Of course, it's also important to have new characters that we like.

Get Him To The Greek is a new spin-off film that features Aldous Snow, the ridiculous, scene-stealing rock star from the great 2008 comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall.


So, does it live up to the hype and work as a spin off? Read on to find out...
