If you’re a fan of John C. Reilly (Cyrus) comedies and love Ed Helms in The Office, you might want to check out Cedar Rapids, which arrived on DVD
In the movie, Helms plays Tim Lippe, a naive small-town Midwesterner who finally gets to go to the big city — Cedar Rapids, Iowa — where he must save his company at a regional insurance convention. There, he’s seduced by a Nebraska insurance agent (Anne Heche, TV’s Hung) and in awe of his roommates, a straight-shooter (Isiah Whitlock Jr., TV’s The Wire) and an extrovert (Reilly). Sigourney Weaver (Avatar) and Rob Corddry (Hot Tub Time Machine) also are in the film.
Rated R, the comedy, which was directed by Youth in Revolt‘s Miguel Arteta, was released in a limited number of theaters, where it grossed $6.7 million, but the film will definitely get its biggest audience with this DVD and Blu-ray release.

- “Fox Movie Channel Presents: Direct Effect Miguel Arteta,” with the Cedar Rapids director
