Tim Lippe sells insurance, he gets a big break in his career with an opportunity to attend an industry convention in Cedar Rapids. There are problems, Tim has never left his hometown, never been on a plane, he has arrested development and his girlfriend is his former elementary school teacher. Tim must pull this off for his agency win a coveted award. He does well with his hotel roommate but his out of his league with his other roommate, a hard partying and amoral colleague. Everything starts to fall apart, he meets Joan, likes her right away and he starts to party.This movie would have been a lot better without the unneeded jokes told by John C. Reilly's character. Another aspect is Ed Helm's other movie, The Hangover makes you want him to be without his tooth again when he gets in a fight. Cheering begins, knock out the tooth, knock out the tooth!
