Cedar Rapids

A funny variation of The Hangover, if it took place in Iowa. The ensemble cast (Ed Helms, Anne Heche, John C. Reilly, Alia Shawkat, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Sigourney Weaver) is genuinely likable and organic. Even though a lot of what's in the screenplay feels typical, Ed Helms nails the quintessential sympathetic dork perfectly, and his sex-and-drug-induced flight from his ordinary world mines a lot of laughs. It's the best comedy I've seen since Machete.
