Cedar Rapids
Picked this up at Redbox last night and was pleasantly surprised. It was funny as shit and way better than any "hit" comedy I've seen in a while. Stars the nerdy guy from hangover, John C Reilly, some black dude who was really good, and Anne Heshe.

John C Reilly is great. I saw it in the theater and it was way better than I expected.

This was one of the unexpected hits of recent movie watching.
Very legit. Just a well done comedy.

Sucked.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

Alright, TROY why in your opinion did it suck? The wife and I watched it a few months ago and found it to be entertaining. If it's not too much trouble, enlighten the rest of us.

It's a very distant fourth among similar films: The Hangover, Bridesmaids, Horrible Bosses. The other three were able to pull off the raunchiness and bleak human nature stuff and still be funny. CR wasn't funny enough, nobody cares about most of the characters, so nobody cares what happens.

I give your review a thumbs down and I think you are a meanie. And my feelings are hurt that you basically called all of us morons.Grandpa's Spells wrote:It's a very distant fourth among similar films: The Hangover, Bridesmaids, Horrible Bosses.

Tomato-meter was quite high. Apparently I'm in the minority.

No, the damage is done. You'll be hearing from my lawyer, J. Noble Daggett. I'm sure you've heard of him sir.

I think you made bad comparisions.
I didn't compare Cedar Rapids to those movies you listed Spells.
