More man-child high-jinks in a comedy which seems to be looking down its nose at smalltown America's terminally unhip, but proves good-hearted and delivers enough laughter to seal the deal.

These folk are undistinguished yet distinctive, and the film, for all the familiar grind of its plotting, pays them their honest due.
Anthony Lane, New Yorker

Considering it has to do with infidelity, bribery, drugs, drinking, loutish behavior, fraud and prostitution, Cedar Rapids is really kind of a sweet movie.
Tom Long, Detroit News

Cedar Rapids takes an inordinate number of wrong turns, but it also has an inordinate number of good laughs mixed in with the not-so-good ones.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

In the dying days of an era when "big city" has been a relative term, the sales-convention comedy "Cedar Rapids" is a loving tribute to American innocence.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
