If you like Ed Helms then skip the lame The Hangover, Part 2 and rent Cedar Rapids, a most wonderful indie comedy that came out this winter, in which Ed Helms does a lot more than scream and wave his hands. He plays Tim, a naïve, almost childlike insurance agent visiting the big city for the first time. As I wrote in my review, “The other sundry agents at the Cedar Rapids convention do not take their lives, or their livelihoods, so seriously. They all work very hard, but unlike Tim, they play hard, really hard. They drink and they swear and some of them cheat on their spouses. For Tim, the crass world of his colleagues, this big city (it’s big to him), and all of the drinking is all just a little overwhelming. And so, hilarity ensues.”
