Life has its downs for James, living with his mom in Chicago at 39, an aging performer at Second City, eating and weighing too much. A woman he's been dating drops him, as does his agent, her brother. James turns down roles in local TV, roles that make him sad. Someone's remaking his favorite movie, "Marty," a role he'd love, but he doesn't even get an audition. He has a minor meltdown when talking at a grade school career day. Things look up when he meets the quirky Beth at an ice cream shop. Can James make a career for himself, move out from mom's, and find someone to eat cheese with? Or is he destined to watch Jackie Gleason and be Marty for the rest of his life?
Leave your thoughts about I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With.
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumThe story ultimately lands in incoherence; but the cameos and local details, and even some of the gags, keep it perky. |
| Entertainment WeeklyGregory KirschlingA wry movie that, packed with his well-known friends and scored intermittently to bouncy accordion music, plays like a softer episode of "Curb." |
| NewsdayJohn Anderson...painful, funny and honest, and the tone Garlin achieves is steady and true. |
| NewsBlazePrairie MillerThough the title could use some trimming too, the movie pulls off that delicate balancing act between creating a sympathetic big guy with a huge eating disorder, while keeping the fat jokes tastefully funny. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansSome of James' adventures go nowhere, but his encounters with females ... are loaded with humor and warmth. |
| eFilmCritic.comPeter SobczynskiIt may not exactly conform to what many people might expect to see from a current-day romantic comedy, it is one of the more satisfying examples of the genre to come along in recent months. |
| Chicago TribuneSid SmithIf you’re a Chicagoan, if you have just a smidgen of interest in the city’s arts scene and if you’ve been around a while, there’s no way to be objective about I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisGarlin's movie is beautiful in its own way. It also suggests that David's show would still be brilliant without the aggravation. I'm not saying that David should renounce misanthropy. But maybe he could curb less of Garlin's apparent enthusiasm for people. |
| Washington PostJohn MaynardThe entire film carries a whiff of "vanity project," with several of Garlin's comedic buddies reporting for duty. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...like 1991's Only the Lonely, another Chicago set film where a heavy guy lives with mom and looks for love, done indie style...a lovely little film. |
