Product Description:
Curb Your Enthusiasm's Jeff Garlin is James, a frustrated underappreciated Chicago actor who lives with his mother. James wants three things in life: someone to love him, a great part and to lose some weight. Unfortunately, he is 0 for 3. When he bails on Overeaters Anonymous for a trip to the ice cream parlor, he meets Beth who quickly wins his heart, but will this cause James more problems than it solves? Or has he finally found someone to eat cheese with? A brilliant ensemble cast makes this story of romance quite the comedy!
Amazon.com:
A romantic comedy with a meandering, almost conversational feel, I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With is a movie about overweight actor James Aaron (Curb Your Enthusiasm's Jeff Garlin) who lives with his mother (Mina Kolb) and hasn't had a relationship with a woman in five years. Incredibly picky about the roles he plays, James hasn't landed many acting jobs recently either, although he is the host of a junk television show. Finding solace in conversations with his friend Luca (David Pasquesi) and through eating junk food, this societal misfit walks out of an Overeaters Anonymous meeting in search of satisfaction and meaning only to enter a random ice cream parlor where he encounters Beth (Sara Silverman), an oversexed woman who takes an immediate liking to him. Thoroughly smitten, James' initial ebullience soon fizzles out and his strange relationship with Beth throws a whole different light on a chance encounter with a jazz-fan and teacher (Bonnie Hunt) in a local record store. In the end, James achieves a certain degree of independence, but the viewer is left in doubt about his relative sense of happiness and fulfillment. --Tami Horiuchi

For his debut film as writer/director Jeff Garlin plays with the oft told tale of a shy, sensitive, lonely, in this case fat guy who is just looking for love but not having any luck finding a woman who will accept him and make him feel whole. How many times have we seen this in the films of Woody Allen or even Garden State or countless others? An unconventional looking actor writes himself a leading man role in a film he is going to direct his way and cast a super hot actress who will love him and ... Read More

In this off-kilter movie Jeff Garlin creates something special and different with a great supporting cast.
If you enjoyed movies such as, 'You, Me and Everyone We Know', 'Junebug', 'Mind The Gap' and even, 'Little Miss Sunshine' you might want to see, 'I Want Someone To Eat Cheese With'.
While it's more of a comedy than any of the afore-mentioned, it shares certain traits - an interest in regular people and their lives, wry observations about the rapport that familial relationships ... Read More

I too have to agree with the reviewer who points out how cute Sarah Silverman is (admittedly a strong point that lead me to get the movie) - - in addition, how similar Jeff Garlin looks to George Wendt (not a factor in renting the movie... However, his acting in CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM was.) Ergo... I got the film...
Although not well directed, the movie does have that Larry David/CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM style of quirky observational humor... and the film has a charm... All in all, a nice film to ... Read More

Or like the French (and some ugly Americans like me) say, "Qui couper le frommage?"
OK, now that I've gotten that off my chest, I'll admit I enjoyed "I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With."
"Cheese" communicates in a very innocent, direct and quirky method, that is entirely endearing. Its difficult not to develop some affection for Jeff Garlin. This movie is essentially a "stream of experience" about Jeff's life as an nice, aimless, affable, funny, fat jewish guy.

maybe it was too subtle for me, but nothing happened. it was also depressing. not what I'd expected. Curb Your Enthusiasm is much more entertaining.
