Cyrus. I really enjoyed this movie. There is a nice romance between John (John C. Reilly) and Molly (Marisa Tomei). I loved the awkward way that they ran into each other at a party and the instant connection you could see forming. I also loved the interaction between John and Cyrus (Jonah Hill). You knew almost immediately that Cyrus was out to chase John off, but that John hadn't figured it out yet. When he does, there is some great battle of the wits between the two. It was also nice to see John's ex-wife, Jamie, (Catherine Keener) still having a friendship with John.
My one issue with the movie is when John follows Molly home. Obviously, John is suspicious of Molly's behavior. On the other hand, I would think that if Molly was so private about her personal life that she would have had an irritated or even an angry response when she found John in her house versus her more pleasant response. Perhaps her real response and resolution was left on the editing floor.
