Of course, my mom doesn’t make her living in Hollywood, so she can afford some wrinkles. Sigourney Weaver does — and yet in “Cedar Rapids,” opening today, it’s startling to see that her face, too, has what we might euphemistically call “character.”
In the not-bad comedy, Weaver plays the deadpan love interest (well, he loves her — she mostly is using him for sex) of Ed Helm’s cheerful, naive insurance agent. In a world where Betty White is currently the face of AARP-eligible actresses, the fact that an older woman is both sexual and sexy is unusual; that an older woman is allowed to look like an older woman is nearly scandalous.
