    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

    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!

    4 out of 5 stars WITTY DIALOGUE AND A GREAT CAST MAKE THIS FAMILIAR STORY WORK!   February 3, 2010

    I am always amazed at how well good dialogue can carry an otherwise familiar theme in a film. 'I Want Someone To Eat Cheese With' is just such a movie. The film is about an overweight man who wants to find his soul mate. He comes across several quirky characters and it is his encounters and the witty dialogue that keep this film rolling along. It's an amusing and sweet tale, but it does seem to end rather abruptly and may not fully satisfy every viewer. I kind of liked it for being different.

    I can't imagine why anyone would say anything positive about this self-indulgent drivel by Jeff Garlin. Not at all funny, it is incomprehensible how he was able to get so many talented performers to completely waste their talents on this terrible film. Contrary to the review quotes on the DVD cover, this film was the complete opposite of "hilarious" and "sweet." This is the story of a fat, unattractive man who whines through life and makes poor choices. None of his various encounters are at all humorous - just boring. I am just annoyed that I was tricked by reviewer comments into thinking that somehow the film was going to get better or redeem itself at the end, which never happened.

    Not a great movie. They suck you in with the Sarah Silverman name but she's hardly in it and the movie had a terrible plot. Was a middle of the road movie...wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Have already given it to the library for a donation.

    Nice, sweet independent movie by Jeff Garlin (written/directed/starred). I guess he's a regular on 'Curb Your Enthusiasm', but I haven't seen that show. Here he plays a lovable comedian who lives in Chicago (with his mom) and performs regularly as part of the Second City troupe. He's also looking for love (maybe with the wild Sarah Silverman? maybe with milder Bonnie Hunt?), and trying to figure out what's next in his life.

    Reminds me a lot of the John Candy movie 'Only The Lonely', which I also liked a lot. This isn't a movie that's gonna change your life, but you won't regret the 90 minutes you give to it. Oh, almost forgot - there are a lot of references in this film to 'Marty', and old movie with Ernest Borgnine. Unfortunately I've never seen it, so I don't get all the in-jokes. I'll have to check it out some time...

    This film is refreshing. I discovered it in previews on another dvd.
    Just the title made me want to buy it. If you need to be slammed on the head with less than funny humor like a watermelon being tossed off a building than this film is perhaps not for you. It is subtle and perhaps too subtle for some but that's the charm. It's a quiet small film. There is more than enough need for films people find as I did this one by quirk of fate. Jeff Garlin worked hard to get 'I Want Someone To Eat Cheese With' made. I for one am amused and happy with the presentation. I especially like audio commentaries on films and this has a dandy one...one of the best I've run across. I even tried rice pudding because I enjoyed this film. I have spent many more dollars on films that have delivered much less entertainment.
    Thanks Jeff.
