Miguel Arteta directed the quirky comedies Chuck & Buck and The Good Girl, worked on the TV series Ugly Betty and Six Feet Under, and then returned to the big screen with Youth in Revolt, starring Michael Cera as a 16-year-old virgin with a split personality from a broken home. He's surrounded by cranks and weirdos all played by familiar character actors. Arteta's latest is much the same. Ed Helms stars as a small-town nonentity who's never flown or stayed in a hotel until he's sent to attend an insurance convention in Iowa.
Unbelievably naive for someone having an affair with the worldly Sigourney Weaver, he's led happily astray by three raunchy, foul-mouthed, boozy insurance men. It's funny, offensive, well acted and pointless.
