Review of Cedar Rapids

Having never heard of this prior to watching it, I had no set expectations of the movie when I pushed play. And, surprisingly, this movie was very amusing, smart, well written, acted, and cast. It's a slower paced comedy, but an intelligent one. Ed Helms plays a man who has a pretty sheltered and quiet life, and unexpectedly goes to the "big city" for a conference, where he encounters different characters that shake up his life in very entertaining ways.

The cast is awesome, including Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Root, Kurtwood Smith, Alia Shawkat, Rob Corddry, John C. Reilly, and Anne Heche.
