Review of I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With (2006) by Jeff S — 30 May 2010

This film is a simple case of an overweight man who is not happy with his life and wants to find someone to eat cheese with. Early on, the film makes sure you know nothing is going well for the main character, James, and he is not doing anything to help himself. It continues to get worse and worse but James fails to acknowledge anything is wrong. I was actually frustrated with the character for taking everything in such stride.

I would have to say that Silverman is the perfect actor to play a crazy and I did not find her annoying but her part was trivial. It just further added that his life was completely a waste, a fact the film already drove home. Many scenes in the film that were pointless. At one point James is in a group therapy session for women with eating disorders, a place he does not belong. None of the side stories are answered and who the hell is his next door neighbor!?

"I want someone to eat cheese with" prolonged its inevitable ending and failed to deliver anything that makes it worthy to watch. I often felt outside the loop on many of the jokes so unless you are in the loop skip this.
