On Blu-Ray/DVD - "Cedar Rapids" -- If you're looking for a solid feel-good comedy rental, this should fit the bill nicely. Ed Helms (The Hangover films and The Office) plays a goody-two-shoes but well-meaning insurance salesman who is tapped to attend a weekend convention in hopes of securing a prestigious award. Once there, a few newfound friends and fellow conventioners act as mentors and help our protagonist break out of his self-imposed shell.
John C. Reilly brings out the most laughs with some hilariously raunchy dialogue and his signature goofball nature while Isaiah Whitlock Jr. (HBO's The Wire) and Anne Heche put in very good supporting work here. Sigourney Weaver and Stephen Root have little more than extended cameos.
It's nothing earth-shattering, but it should leave you with a smile on your face.
