I want someone to eat cheese with

James is a struggling actor, living with his widowed mother in Chicago, who wants three things in life: someone to love, a great part, and to lose weight. Unfortunately, he is 0 for 3. His girlfriend dumps him, he loses a title acting role, and he sneaks out of an Overeaters Anonymous meeting only to wind up at an ice cream parlor. There, 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?

  • "Sometimes love is just a big bowl of wrong. A cast of fine comic actors bring warmth, humour and poignancy to this quirky Chicago-set film.Curb Your Enthusiasm's Jeff Garlin is James, a frustrated and underappreciated Chicago actor who lives with his mother 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. James wants three things in life: someone to love him, a great acting part, and to lose weight. Unfortunately, he is 0 for 3. An aborted attempt at attending an Overeaters Anonymous meeting, leads the rotund actor to a random ice cream parlor, where he finds himself in a surprising flirtation with the cute-but-somewhat-unhinged Beth (Sarah Silverman). Thoroughly smitten, James' 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. With a brilliant ensemble cast of luminaries including Amy Sedaris, Dan Castellaneta, and Bonnie Hunt, the film delivers with delicious wisecracks and a surprisingly big heart. Starring Jeff Garlin (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Wall-E), Sarah Silverman (School of Rock), Bonnie Hunt (Jerry Maguire), and Dan Castellaneta (voice of Homer Simpson)."
  • "Garlin stars as James, an overweight, depressed actor who does improv at Second City. James lives with his mother, and constantly cheats on his diet. His life seems to be in a downward spiral. He quits his acting job on a sleazy prank show, his girlfriend breaks up with him, and his agent dumps him. One day, after giving up on Compulsive Eaters Anonymous, he seeks solace in an ice cream parlour, where he meets Beth (Sarah Silverman), who quickly wins his heart by offering him free ice cream, and asking him a sexually provocative question. But his attraction to the sexually aggressive and somewhat demented Beth may bring James more problems than it solves."
