Ed Helms stars in this upbeat comedy as Tim Lippe, a naïve insurance salesman from a small Midwest town. When Tim heads to the “big city” of Cedar Rapids for a convention, he finds himself at odds with Dean, the ultimate party animal (John C. Reilly). Soon, Tim realizes he can’t beat Dean, so he joins him – crashing parties, skinny-dipping in the hotel pool and being seduced by a sexy soccer mom!

Critics Consensus: It's as conventional as its Midwestern setting, but Cedar Rapids boasts a terrific cast and a script that deftly blends R-rated raunch and endearing sweetness.

Richard Propes

Giving her best performance in quite some time, Anne Heche is simply magnificent.

This is a well-made, imperfect kind of movie, containing a lot of laughs and heart despite its weaknesses.

Felicia Feaster

Cedar Rapids gains points for mixing up its very, very rude comedy with a real sense of purpose.

Micheal Compton

A slightly uneven comedy with enough laughs to overcome the lulls.

Isn't a blazingly original comedy, but it has such a nice, tender-hearted feel to it I was won over and charmed.

Common Sense Says

Raunchy comedy is packed with sex, drinking, and swearing.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this raunchy "hard R" comedy in the tradition of Animal House is about a group of men who cut loose and go crazy (some of them for the very first time) and then eventually take down a corrupt and hypocritical authority figure. The movie includes massive amounts of language, with some of the most creative and abundant swearing in ages. There's also heavy sexual innuendo and references to lots of sexual situations (multiple partners, adultery, prostitution, etc.). And there's heavy drinking, as well as use of hard drugs like crack. Thanks to a funny trailer and the presence of Hangover co-star Ed Helms, teens may be attracted to this envelope-pushing comedy, but it's really best left for adults.
