Who knew the Upper Plains could be so funny? Ed Helms, apparently, who
gives a note perfect performance as a naif who finds more than he
bargained for--to his ultimate gain--at an insurance industry convention
in the titular town. The story stays odd and appealingly skewed
throughout, and--unlike many a self-aware 'zany' comedy--never veers off
into the completely improbable. (There's one plot glitch--involving the
Helms character's major sin--that's not really true to form, but it's a
very minor, almost unnoticeable thing.) The result is often laugh out
loud funny and a good time at the movies. Check it out.
