If there is justice in the world, Ed Helms will shortly be a comedy star whose name above the title sells a film all by itself. A veteran of 'The Daily Show,' 'The Office,' and 'The Hangover' (plus its impending sequel), Helms is a chief of lovable, slightly square awkwardness, and there's room for him at the top. 'Cedar Rapids' probably is not the film that will do it for him, but it's a step in the right direction, a reasonably successful attempt to capitalize on Helms' skills.
