  • Starring: Anne Heche, Ed Helms, John C. Reilly
  • Summary: To call insurance agent Tim Lippe, "naive" is a gross understatement. He's never left his small hometown. He's never stayed at a hotel. And he's never experienced anything like Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Sent to represent his company at the annual insurance convention, Tim is soon distracted by three convention veterans who will show him the ropes and push his boundaries. For a guy who plays everything by the book, this convention will be anything but conventional. (Fox Searchlight Pictures)

    One of those sunny-natured indie comedies that comes out of nowhere to put a smile on your face.

    Its appeal comes almost entirely from the cast members, who appear genuinely excited to invite us to their party.

    I don't watch The Office, but I like Ed Helms - especially in The Hangover. However, John C.Reilly dominates this movie, and he's hilarious. Absolutely makes the film. Anne Heche is also terrific - her career has been on a great path. Love to see her in the more supporting roles. She handles them with nuance.… Expand

    The TV ads painted an unflattering picture, but I decided to give this one a shot. This was a fun little comedy with a talented cast playing their usual roles. Loved the cameo from Rob Corddry.… Expand

    Bringing more smiles than disorderly cachinnation, "Cedar Rapids" is a film whose low-key, ordinariness makes for a comedy that is innately delightful; braced by solid performances that welcome you at the door, show you around, and 'Got You' when you need them. Selling insurance never sounded so good!… Expand

    Such a terrible slow start, what starts out as a corny mess of crap FINALLY becomes good about 40-45 minutes after you've been trying to convince yourself to keep watching anyway. Seriously half of this movie could have been cut and it would have been better.… Expand
