Cyrus

Cyrus, in Australia on Disney Plus, does something a lot of comedies forget to: it's consistently funny. The length is exactly right for the story it is telling — nothing rushed, nothing dragged out. 465 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. John C. Reilly sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Start it on Disney Plus whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Cyrus earns its spot. The jokes in Cyrus land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. With John's social life at a standstill and his ex-wife about to get remarried, a down on his luck divorcée finally meets the woman of his dreams, only to discover she has another man in her life - her son. Before long, the two are locked in a battle of wits for the woman they both love-and it appears only one man can be left standing when it's over. The chemistry John C. Reilly and Jonah Hill bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It hit screens in 2010. The timing in Cyrus is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Cyrus. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. John C. Reilly anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
