I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With – 7/10
The 7/10 rating is always standing on the fence between “pretty good” and “one time watch”, and this movie almost stepped over to “one time watch”. Jeff Garlin is on his game as usual, and the movie was very easy to watch with a simple plot that revolved around Garlin’s character’s bad eating habits and general failures in his life. His character wanders around through different moments within an unspecified time frame which is probably no more than a few days or a week.
The supporting cast was fun and they all did their jobs. Garlin’s character’s friend, the father of the little girl he picks up from school at the end, looked a lot like Adrian Brody and I thought I’d mention it because seriously, they could be brothers.
A couple quick positive things that don’t really have anything to do with my viewing experience: the poster is actually really cool to me and the DVD menu was really fun to watch. It took me a few minutes, but I slowly realized that the graphics over the picture were supposed to make it look like blocks of cheese. You’ll see what I mean if you ever watch the film. Also, I’d like to point out something else random… the music reminded me an awful lot of Curb Your Enthusiasm, and really, parts of the film were sort of like less funny versions of bits they might have scattered throughout that show.
Anyway, it’s not anything spectacular, but I wasn’t really expecting it to be. I’m glad I saw it, but can’t really imagine myself seeing it again any time soon.
