This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

If you like "Curb..." you will like the main character, as they are so similar to the "Curb.." formula. I should watch the entire thing, I guess, before making comment. To me it's a one-trick pony film, and the trick is insignificant, if I see it at all. "Chubby-chaser" jokes are typical of this low-rent, low-interest genre. Perhaps this is meant to have all sorts of important underlying comments about weight, rejection etc, but there is nothing subtle or watchable about it to my eyes. Sarah Silverman is OK, for the time I saw her in the movie at least, but nothing special. That rally sum up this film, for me, in that it is Nothing Special, just typical.

So I watched "I want someone to eat cheese with". So was it good, well ehhhhhh. I liked it, I am a fan of Jeff Garlin, but its not what I would say is a "good" movie. It is likable though, if you enjoy quirky comedies, which I do. I will say I thought the references to the film "Marty" were very apt, considering the plot, and I did like how this guy was basically a very lovable loser. If you enjoy indy comedies, you may enjoy this movie, but if not you can probably skip this one. I really have nothing else to say about this film. if you like concise reviews of interesting films please read my other reviews at http://raouldukeatthemovies.blogspot.com/

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.
