New Cedar Rapids Clip
Here’s the new clip for Ed Helms‘ latest comedy movie, Cedar Rapids.
Synopsis: Tim Lippe (Helms) was the guy people always thought would go places but then he just … didn’t. He’s been living in über-sleepy Brown Valley, Wisconsin his whole life, still “pre-engaged” to his 7th grade teacher Millie Vanderhei ( Sigourney Weaver), while selling insurance to protect other people’s dreams. But now, Tim’s stalled life is about to get a kick-start because, for the first time in his 34 years, he’s headed to a “major” metropolis – Cedar Rapids, Iowa – where he must try to save his company at a do-or-die insurance convention that, for him, will be entirely nonconventional.
Adam Sandler in Miguel Arteta’s Fat Man?
Cedar Rapids helmer, Miguel Arteta, has revealed that he’s considering directing a movie called Fat Man with Adam Sandler in a possible leading role.
That’s exactly what Arteta revealed while doing the press rounds at Sundance Film Festival, so take it as something quite interesting and, kind-of official!
“I’d love to do a movie with Adam Sandler that… someone said he was flirting with? It’s called ‘Fat Man’. I don’t know if you’ve heard about this? One of the main writers of The Simpsons wrote the script and it’s amazing.
He would play an 800lb guy who has a love affair between him and his nurse. And he’s naked for the first half of the film… and it’s very touching… and it’s very funny,” Arteta said, and added:
“So, I hope he gets the gumption to do it, and maybe I get a crack at that, that would be amazing. Certainly, it would be not a movie you would forget anytime soon… and it’s beautifully written. I don’t know if that’s meant to get out on the internet…”

Youth in Revolt Review
Youth in Revolt is a movie full of Michael Ceras. Cera stars in the film playing a dual role both as virgin nerd Nick Twisp and Nick’s newly created, bad boy alternate personality Francois Dillinger. But the Cera doesn’t stop there. The film’s other characters seem to have caught the Cera bug, speaking in the same mildly disconnected monotone that has become Cera’s trademark, or using Cera’s all too familiar blank stare to gaze into the camera. Everyone in the movie has become Michael Cera, it’s as if they’ve all been instructed to filter their characters through some sort of strange Michael Cera impression. That might be annoying of not for Michael Cera who, is doing something distinctly un-Cera with Twisp’s imaginary friend Francois. Bug-eyed and angry, it’s Francois Dillinger, as the only non-Cera character in the film, who makes watching Youth in Revolt worthwhile…read more [Cimena Blend]
Youth in Revolt is a very funny movie, but it’s also a bit too lightweight to give it real staying power. Twisp’s quest for sex and a girlfriend obviously presents its fair share of challenges, but as dramatic as they seem they’re all actually dealt with pretty succinctly and episodically. Getting Nick’s dad to move is as simple as having Sheeni make a fake phone call posing as a job offer… he moves and presumably starts the job, but if it was fake how exactly does he manage that? The details aren’t necessarily important, but without them the movie feels less complete…read more [FilmSchoolRejects]
