I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With

CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM's Jeff Garlin wrote, directed and stars in this poignant and humorous look at a man in search of a soul mate. James (Garlin) is a frustrated and under-appreciated Chicago actor who lives with his mother and has only really wanted three things in life: someone to love him, a great part, and to lose weight. Unfortunately, he is 0 for 3. His girlfriend dumps him, he loses the title role in a remake of Paddy Chayefsky's Marty to teen idol Aaron Carter, and he sneaks out of an Overeaters Anonymous meeting only to wind up at an ice cream parlor. There, however, he meets Beth (Sarah Silverman), 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? Appearances by Bonnie Hunt, Amy Sedaris, Dan Castellaneta, Wallace Langham, Roger Bart, Paul Mazursky, David Pasquesi, and Joey Slotnick.

“Laid back and affectionate, Cheese is the movie version of a dear friend you could spend all day with.” (Matt Zoller Seitz, New York Times)

"Sweetly neurotic... It may be too quirky to become much more than a cult hit, but the laughs are big and plenty for those who tap into its quietly eccentric logic... evokes Woody Allen's early faves." (Aaron Hillis, Premiere Magazine)
