Saw Cyrus yesterday. I put it in the category of "great acting in support of a movie that has no particular reason to exist."
In a way it reminds me of the play Tony and Tina's Wedding. I feel that play perfectly captures the experience of attending the wedding of people you barely know and being assigned seating with people you don't know at all and who aren't interesting in meeting you.
So it accomplished that beautifully. I just can't understand why anybody would want to accomplish that.
Same with Cyrus. It is a well performed situation drama that stays squarely within the scope of reality and avoids any excess at all. And at the end I was stuck with a feeling of "yeah...I don't care."
