Quirky insurance flick makes list of quarantine must-stream
Reprints
An insurance agent from a small town in Wisconsin hits up a regional insurance conference in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and it changes his life forever.
Sound familiar? No? No time better than to catch up on must-stream funny films in light of the coronavirus, the Detroit News reports this week.
Making the newspaper’s long list of feature comedies to brighten one’s quarantine, next to “Groundhog Day,” “National Lampoon’s Vacation” and “Naked Gun,” is “Cedar Rapids,” the quirky insurance-related film available on HBO Go that the newspaper summed up with:
“Nothing sounds more dull than an insurance convention. That's the kick of this spunky comedy, starring Ed Helms as a buttoned-up insurance seller who attends a regional sales conference where he links up with a handful of colleagues (John C. Reilly is hilarious, Anne Heche is full of heart) and lets it rip for a weekend.”
Side note: Roger Ebert gave it three stars when it premiered in 2011.
