Blog one: Cinema

Hi guys me again :)
So today I went to the cinema  and saw a film. Well what else do you go to the cinema for. I couldn't think of another media event in such a short amount of time, so the cinema it was.
The film I went and saw was a film called Cyrus. Lets just say it was pretty rubbish. 
 The main characters were played by some pretty big comedy actors. John C Reilly, Jonah Hill, Marisa Tomei and Catherine Keener. 
 The story line is about a guy (John C Reilly) who has divorced from his wife but there still really close. His wife after seven years has decided to re-marry and of course John who is played by John C Reilly isn't very happy about this. His ex wife (Catherine Keener) and her partner persuade John to go to a party where they try and make him get a girlfriend, but when he cant find one he decides to get very drunk. He goes out into the garden where a woman (Marisa Tomei) called Molly starts talking to him and of course they fall in love. One night though when she leaves early he decides to follow her home and in the morning he goes and knocks at her house, where a young lad (Jonah Hill) comes outside and introduces him as Molly's son. John finds out the young lad is called Cyrus and that he and Molly were bestfriends and so she sort of took him in. 
 Cyrus invites John to stay over the night with him and Molly and so of course John says yes. The next morning John wakes up and gets ready for work, when he cant find his pair of shoes he left in the living room the night before. He asks Molly and Cyrus where his shoes are and they say they don't know where they are. 
 The film sort of moves on then and Cyrus says he will move out of the house Molly and John are now living in and decides to rent himself a room. Cyrus asks Molly to pack up all his stuff for him but because Molly is at work John packs up Cyrus's stuff and finds his missing shoes hidden in Cyrus's closet. 
 From there on the film is about Cyrus and John fighting to get Molly to believe them. Molly always believes Cryus so she has difficulty trying to decide who's telling her the truth. It ends up with John leaving Molly and getting his flat back and Cyrus coming round and saying sorry about all the stuff that's happened between them and how Molly is really upset about whats happened. 
 The camera shots were very different, sometimes they would be a little blurry, they would keep zooming in and zooming back out at random times.
 All in all i didn't like the film but I think for people who like the actors and who like those kind of plots then its a good film to see. Its a very short film so its good for someone who wants to catch a quick flick.
 The story line didn't do it for me and i found bits where I was falling asleep.
I would give this film a 5/10 because I think there were bits that were funny, and sweet but I didn't like most of it.
