I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With (2006)

So much average

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With reminds me a little bit of World's Greatest Dad. It's marketed as a comedy, when really it's a drama. The front cover of the film is quoted in being "Hilarious" when it's anything but. It's a melodrama that is only chuckle inducing rather than constant hilarity as one may assume. Personally, I find nothing funny about a down-on-your-luck, heavy set man going through almost a midlife crisis. I don't find the humor in that.Jeff Garlin stars as James, an obese man who's luck has seemed to be at a halt. He works at Second City, an improvising show in Chicago, and he loses his job, lives with his mother, his girlfriend leaves him, and he sneaks out of his Overeaters Anonymous seminar to go to an ice cream parlor. He meets a plucky and younger woman named Beth (Silverman). Beth gives him an ice cream snack she made as practice and even questions James if he's ever done anything kinky.James and Beth hang out the next day and it's beginning to be noticeable that both are getting attracted to one another. James continues to go on with his every day life which involves a goofy show or two, and hanging out with his friends. My favorite, the clerk played by Dan Castellaneta.The movie tends to hit starts and stops, and sometimes seems as if it is not progressing at all. It's short and sweet, but Garlin works through the film softly and calmly. He doesn't rely on regular humor most romantic comedies do and it certainly isn't formulaic. Its got the humor of Larry David's show Curb Your Enthusiasm, which Jeff also stars in.Shot in eighteen years, but spread over the course of almost two years, I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With is a strange, strange little film with some off the wall humor and some very well crafted characters. I enjoyed Garlin's sweet and simple attitude, Silverman's presence, and its far from cliché ending. This isn't the most eventful rom-com, but it's one that shows love in a different light. With IFC Films on the cover, it is surely far from the Hollywood light.Starring: Jeff Garlin, Sarah Silverman, Bonnie Hunt, Dan Castellaneta. Directed by: Jeff Garlin.

This is probably the worst film I've seen in ages and I've seen a lot of films.It's like a really bad episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where nothing is funny and there is no Larry David.Sarah Silverman is slightly funny but the whole film is so badly written that after about 10 mins I wanted to stick pencils in my eyes.It would be more fun just eating cheese, lots of cheese. So much cheese that you turn into a really fat man, become an aspiring actor, get dumped by your girlfriend and then star in a really terrible film.Jeff Garlin you should be ashamed of yourself.

Great ensemble cast but unfortunately a bunch of undeveloped ideas make the film drag. One feels not fulfilled at the end after waiting for some kind of conclusion, closure, or at least an ironic twist.It had that familiar "Curb" feel without dare I say it, Larry as the annoying polar opposite. The music was there, the 'show about nothing' scenes pop up, but without any common thread or suspense - it falters as a solo project that ran out of budget.Spoilers: The movie title speaks about cheese but she prefers the rice pudding. Is cheese a better selling title than rice pudding? He prefers just any junk food, regardless of the sell by date. Maybe I want someone to eat 'cheese-dogs' or ice cream in a pirate suit would have at least tied some scenes together.Marty: this is just not funny and overdone. People just don't care about a 'show' within a show. A coffee book table about coffee books was funnier.Unless you are big fans of the cast, save your time and eat some cheese. It doesn't even have to be with anyone.

This film is about a struggling actor trying to find satisfaction in life, especially love which he has not had a taste of for 5 years.It basically is a film featuring a man with very poor social skills, and he says wrong things all the time. The plot is hollow and contrived. The main character, James, is lonely, but this theme of loneliness is not adequately explored. It is more like an empty statement which other subplots stem from. Sadness and disappointment after being dumped are superficial. There is a serious lack of emotions in the film.It is not funny as a comedy either. There are some funny one liners but that is it. It lacks the happy and uplifting atmosphere to infect people with happy mood. I don't find "I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With" funny.
