Cedar Rapids debuted this year at the Sundance Film Festival. Since then, the comedy has gone on to receive mostly positive reviews. The movie went on to get a limited release in theaters.

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment have announced that the comedy will hit DVD and Blu-ray on June 21, 2011. Pre-orders will be available starting May 25, 2011.

Cedar Rapids is directed by Miguel Arteta based on a script by Phil Johnston. The film stars something of an all-star comedy cast including: Ed Helms, John C. Reilly, Anne Heche, Stephen Root, Kurtwood Smith and others.

Cedar Rapids is the tale of a small-town insurance agent that sets out to the “big city” to represent his company at a convention. What follows is a tale of hilarity, hijinks and shenanigans. You can check out the box art and the list of bonus features after the jump.

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 (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. From the minute he checks into his hotel with his ancient American Tourister and cummerbund money-belt, it’s clear Tim has no idea how the modern world really works. He is soon smitten with seductive Nebraskan insurance agent Joan (Heche) and awed by his experienced roommates, the straight-shooting Wilkes (Whitlock Jr.) and the suspicious Zeigler (Reilly).
