You couldn't have made this movie more dull if the characters just stood there motionless staring blankly at the screen. I cared nothing at all about any of the characters. Their issues were boring and simple. My 16 year old niece's life is more interesting and complicated than any of these duds. Seriously, what ever budget they had to make this film, however small, would have been better used on something humanitarian. They could have filmed how the money was spent and it would have been more interesting. The critics who tried to make this anything more than the crap that it is are simply caught up in the grind of their "work" reviewing movies. It stunk people. Plain and simple.

sweet acting fun go seeit

Usually I enjoy pretty much anything John C. Reilly and Marisa Tomei do, but the writing in this was just bad. It seemed that most of Reilly's lines started with "Oh, Oh, well...." There were a few interesting spots though, 1) the 60's style montage with the unsynchronized dialogue. 2) the "It's not going to be alright" scene with Reilly and Tomei, I thought that was very unexpected. I feel it moved too slow and for the most part was very predictable. Beyond a few small bright spots, it is not a movie I would recommend.

Funny, thought provoking, well acted and one of the most unusual movies out this year. If you like movies that have realistic dialogue and great timing by the actors you'll love this one. Jonah Hill shows he has a range not seen before and Reilly and Tomei are very good. Keeps you thinking about the scenes after you leave the theatre.Many LOL moments.

Comedic Jonah Hill enters new territory here, and it's too painful to watch. Is his character Cyrus an overgrown spoiled Mama's boy? Or a mentally ill sociopath? A more skilled actor might have pulled it off. Then again, I don't think the director knew if he wanted to make a comedy or a social commentary. In a word, it's creepy. What a waste of talent like John C. O'Reilly and Marisa Tomei and, yes, Jonah Hill. If you still feel that you must see this movie, save your money and wait until it airs on cable.
