If you're a fan of Alexander Payne, you won't be disappointed with CEDAR RAPIDS.
While Mr. Payne is only listed as a "producer" of this movie, the same touches that make places like Omaha, Nebraska feel exotic in ABOUT SCHMIDT come into play here as a super-naive insurance salesman copes with the "big city" of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Ed Helms, of HANGOVER fame, does a nice job thrust into the role of leading man, and his supporting cast hit pitch-perfect characterizations to bring the story to life. Come to think of it, I don't know if there's a better sidekick than John C. Reilly.
This movie is more than an "If you've seen the trailer, you've seen the movie" experience.
