I finally caught Cedar Rapids on DVD. I was determined to see the film even though the reviews were lukewarm and it didn't last long in the theaters this past winter. How often does Hollywood devote an entire movie to the adventures of an insurance agent?
This dark comedy isn't for everyone. It's often over the top and definitely not PG-rated. But it is also refreshingly sympathetic in its portrayal of an insurance agent who sees himself as “heroic” because of how his industry rebuilds people's lives and properties after tragedy strikes.
One scene alone is worth the price of admission.
