Why So Blu?

Take The Trip To ‘Cedar Rapids’ on Blu-ray

I missed this one in the theater, but the same mistake won’t happen when it arrives on Blu-ray this June.  Two of our reviewers really liked this one (see here and here) so I’m not going to let this one slip off my radar.  Anyway, of course I am talking about the salesman comedy of the year Cedar Rapids.  The film will make its Blu-ray debut with a Super Awesome Edition on June 21st.  Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment assures me that you will be able to slam back a shot of cream sherry and dance with the tiger on June 21st.  I guess I will have to watch the Blu-ray to find out what the heck they are talking about.  Until then…here’s the press release!

Los Angeles, CA (April 19, 2011) – Follow mild-mannered Tim Lippe as he takes off on an epic adventure to CEDAR RAPIDS, coming to Blu-ray and DVD in a SUPER AWESOME EDITION June 21st from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. This wildly funny and undeniably infectious comedy will have you wanting more of Lippe and his crew, Deanzie, Joan and Ronald as they cause mayhem at the most unconventional business convention of all-time.

CEDAR RAPIDS features an all-star cast including Ed Helms (The Hangover), John C. Reilly (Step Brothers), Anne Heche (TV’s Hung), and Academy Award® nominee and Golden Globe® winner Sigourney Weaver (Avatar). Find additional chaos and laughs in deleted scenes, gag reel, and other extras in the SUPER AWESOME EDITION Blu-ray disc and DVD!

In CEDAR RAPIDS, a naïve small-town Midwesterner (Helms) is sent to represent his company at a regional insurance convention in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where his mind is blown by the “big city” and he finds himself in the midst of the most unexpected shenanigans.
