Critic's Pick: Cedar Rapidsnew

In Cedar Rapids, small-town insurance salesman Tim Lippe (Ed Helms) is the kind of hopeless buffoon you wouldn’t mind getting to know. His rite of passage comes when he is sent to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to represent his company at an insurance convention, a sizeable step for Tim, who has never left his own backyard.

A Partly Cloudy Look at the Summer Movies Aheadnew
June starts with the third Harry Potter movie, which finds our almost-adolescent heroes and hot older heroine smoking pot, having three-way sex, and road-tripping across Mexico. No, wait, that’s the last movie directed by Alfonso Cuarón, "Y Tu Mamá También," and we’d much rather see a sequel to that.
