Just watched the trailer---can you say The Hangover?

I'm sorry, but Ed Helms will always be the "guy from the hangover." I just watched the trailer and didn't laugh once, but that's no disrespect to the movie. Basically, it looks like "The Hangover II, Wrath of Unfunny Movies." Suspension is seriously tested as we are to believe a guy in his 30's has never been to a hotel? Sure, if he was in "Winter's Bone," but not from some small town in Milwaukee or wherever he's from. And that's only one plot point that tests suspension seriously. Lastly, are there any other actors in Hwood? I'm kind of tired of seeing the same faces in the same roles over and over again. God, it must be frustrating to be an actor trying to break into Hwood these days. Oh well, enjoy if you see it. Think I'll wait till video.

I saw it last night and it was nothing like the Hangover. Stu and Tim (Ed Helms) are 2 very different characters. Cedar Rapids relied on the comedy from the characters themselves and not on site gags or one liners. I loved the Hangover, but I enjoyed Cedar Rapids more

Really? Come on thats ridiculous. If anything, Tim is a lot like Andy from The Office, but is soooo different Stu! Ed Helms is NOT "that guy from the Hangover."

It is nothing like the hangover. It's very subtle and kind of quirky.

You sir are a moron. It is nothing like the hangover and if you get that from just seeing a trailer you have a horrible sense of reality. Just because he plays a character in one film you think he plays the same character is all films? Horrible? What same actors? We see a different group of actors in this film and it is great! Go check it out before you criticize. This film is hilarious and nothing like the hangover.

NO WAY!! He is ANDY!! While watching the Hangover I was thinking, DAMMMNNN Andy from The Office rocks.

I always thought of him as "that guy that used to be on the Daily Show."

"Some small town in Milwaukee"? Did you mean "near Milwaukee"? Or "in Wisconsin?" Being from a small town in Wisconsin (by the way, Milwaukee is the largest city in Wisconsin, population 605,000+, metro area over 2 million) there are, in fact, people in the world who never leave their hometowns, never travel, never set foot in hotels, never go to "big" cities, etc. I found this movie hilarious, mostly because I could relate to the small town mentality of the characters and was familiar with the areas a lot of them were supposedly from. I thought their characterizations were spot on.

watch the movie before you post something next time. It's nothing like the Hangover. This movie actually has a story narative and not just scenes rambled together in a long drawn out nothingness like the Hangover. The hangover was awful! Cedar Rapids blows it out of the water with hilarious sublties.
