New DVDs due for release June 21

CEDAR RAPIDS (Fox) A risk-averse small-town insurance salesman has his eyes opened to how the world works - and how different living life can be - while attending an insurance convention in Iowa. Comedy written by Neenah native Phil Johnston, with Ed Helms as the naive salesman cast into the deep end, too often veers into coarse-comedy cliché, but is also grounded in the humanity and decency of Helms' character. (R; language, drugs, crude humor) ** 1/2

THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU (Universal) Matt Damon plays a politician who, after a fling with a dancer, discovers that his destiny, and everyone else's, is directed by a band of angels and some guys with magic hats. Non-thriller based on a story by Philip K. Dick replaces action with incredulity. What "Inception" might have been like if it were written by Nicholas Sparks. (PG-13; brief strong language, some sexuality and a violent image) **

THE EAGLE (Universal) When a Roman commander loses his father after an entire legion of soldiers goes MIA, he recruits a puckish slave to help him retrieve their lost solid-gold eagle. Misguided action drama is a bromance of epic proportions. (PG-13; battle violence, some disturbing images) **

UNKNOWN (Fox) A man has an accident while traveling abroad; after awakening from a coma, he discovers that no one believes he's himself - not even his wife. Action thriller with Liam Neeson, January Jones, Diane Kruger, Bruno Ganz, Frank Langella, Aidan Quinn. (PG-13; violence, brief sex) Not reviewed.

DIARY OF A WIMPY KID 2: RODRICK RULES (Fox) Second movie based on the bestselling children's books finds the world's most put-upon middle-schooler being forced to bond with older brother. (PG; mild rude humor) Not reviewed.

HAPPYTHANKYOUMOREPLEASE (Anchor Bay) Directorial debut by Josh Radnor ("How I Met Your Mother") follows a group of friends in New York City wrestling with relationships, commitment and the future. With Kate Mara, Malin Akerman, Pablo Schreiber, Richard Jenkins, Zoe Kazan. (R; language) Not reviewed.

CEREMONY (Magnolia) Determined to win back the girl of his dreams, a troubled guy crashes her wedding. With Michael Angarano, Uma Thurman, Lee Pace, Reece Thompson. (R; language, drug use) Not reviewed.

BENDING ALL THE RULES (Lionsgate) Romantic comedy about a photographer (Colleen Porch) pursued by a sensitive, artsy guy (Bradley Cooper) and a powerful businessman (David Gail). (R; sex, language) Not reviewed.
