SYNOPSIS/PLOT

A comedy about a group of insurance salesmen who use the opportunity to attend an annual convention in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, as a way to escape their doleful existence... like Vegas but with corn. Tim Lippe has been living in a small town his whole life and gets a rude awakening when he arrives in the "giant" metropolis of Cedar Rapids. However, his boyish charm and innocence eventually win over his fellow conventioneers, but he becomes disheartened when he uncovers corporate corruption. When it seems his life—and chances to succeed—are completely topsy-turvy, he finds his own unjaded way to turn things around.

PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"A sweet comedy with a dirty mind (...) Cedar Rapids has something of the same spirit of 'Fargo' (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)

----------------------------------------
"This is a Frank Capra-meets-Judd Apatow comedy (...) The appeal lies primarily in the charismatic performances of this unlikely foursome (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Claudia Puig: USA Today)

----------------------------------------
"One of my favorite films of 2011". (A. O. Scott: The New York Times)

----------------------------------------
A modest comedy that springs indecently funny surprises (...) It's also powered by a dream cast, led by the outstanding Helms (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)

----------------------------------------
"Little things keep "Cedar Rapids" interesting (...) What the film lacks in energy it makes up for in geniality (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Michael Phillips: Chicago Tribune)
