 Re: CEDAR RAPIDS
Wow, I expected this one to be more of a dark comedy that a raunchy one. Not that one is necessarily better than the other; I'm was basing my assumption largely on the previous output of director Miguel Arteta. At any rate, I'll certainly be on the lookout for this one!

 Re: CEDAR RAPIDS
I'm probably going to make a trip to the theater to see this one since I used to live in Cedar Rapids. Probably not the best reason to see a movie, but I'm interested in seeing my old home....

 Re: CEDAR RAPIDS
Quite tempted by this based on the premise surrounding the 'older nerd' type.
However, am I the only one who prefers Reilly when is isn't forced into comedy roles? He does a lot better as a straight actor (Magnolia anybody?)

 Re: CEDAR RAPIDS
He's better at drama. When he appears in a comedy, he almost always seems to be skating through the role, although he does better in something like this, which has a legitimate dramatic edge, than in some of his other "comedies."

 Re: CEDAR RAPIDS
Step Brothers is the one that instantly sprung to mind! That this movie doesn't contain Will Ferrell makes me want to see it all the more.

 Re: CEDAR RAPIDS
James has pegged this one perfectly. It's an enjoyable little movie from which you exit with a satisfied smile.
