Will the movie ‘Cedar Rapids’ inspire more drinking of cream sherry?
One of the funnier moments in the new Miguel Arteta film, Cedar Rapids, takes place in a hotel bar where nerdy Tim Lippe, played by Ed Helms, is drinking a root beer but is pressured by his new friends to join them for a shot of liquor. Not knowing what to order, Lippe impulsively orders a glass of cream sherry. This odd request drew howls from the audience on the night I watched the movie. Does anyone still drink cream sherry?
The answer: Yes. And no.
