Review of Cedar Rapids (2011) by Sam B — 13 Nov 2011
Cedar Rapids makes this much clear: Any premise, no matter how generic it seems, can become a great movie if the characters involved are interesting and true enough, and the script moves along with purpose.
Cedar Rapids succeeds in taking a boring field (insurance) and making a comedy and a case study that feels so much fresher than one might suspect. The care in which each character (no matter how minor) is crafted in Cedar Rapids, and then the way in which they interact with each other makes watching it a supremely enjoyable experience.
However, it is the way in which that the average premise is played out by some intensely abnormal human beings that makes Cedar Rapids shine.
