Jan 22 2010'Cyrus' Trailer: The John C. Reilly/Jonah Hill Rivalry You Didn't Realize You Needed
If Noah Baumbach made a Man of the House/Dutch-style son-fucking-with-mom's-new-boyfriend dark comedy starring John C. Reilly and Jonah Hill, this would be it. Not that Noah Baumbach made this--the guys who did The Puffy Chair did--but still, that's what this is. And it sort of looks just as good as that concept sounds:
Bonus points for Matt Walsh from Upright Citizens Brigade as Catherine Keener's new boyfriend (I'm pretty sure that's him).

Oh, Lange all the way. But yeah, a little disappointed in the trailer.

I, too, am quite disappointed by the trailer. I want to say the movie has potential, but the trailer didn't do much to show it. BTW, I love that Edward Sharpe song, but honestly, trailers don't have to use the "hip new song" every time. It's annoying, especially when it doesn't fit at all. Distracting really...and annoying...

I loved their band "Volcano, I'm Still Excited," but thought the Puffy Chair was one of the worst movies I've seen in recent history.
So this movie is going to suck, probably.

Hmm. It looks kind of... bleh. John C Reilly and Jonah Hill just seem to be relying on the audience going "Hey, it's John C Reilly and Jonah Hill!" for comedy. None of the dialogue or situations seem fresh or interesting. I'll wait for reviews.
