I want someone to eat cheese with

I had a couple of choices last night, but they run contrary to my plans of staying at home. Hahaha. Actually, there’s more than a handful of records that I wanted to listen to, plus I also wanted to catch the film that I had just finished downloading before hitting the bed early on a Saturday night.

Sounds like a plan noh?

So I saw Jeff Garlin’s I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With, about an overweight and frustrated actor, struggling with the realities of life going nowhere. He is a man clearly in need of acceptance, which is obvious with his frustrations of wanting to love and be loved.

I thought that perhaps, with a catchy title and being a low budget film set in present day along with its themes of discontent would make it more grounded and real. But sadly, I found myself slightly (not completely) unattached with the movie; I was unable to relate with the film’s characters and its subplots. I think the film just suffers from not knowing what it wanted to be.

Well, I didn’t hate it per se. I thought it was good, although just not great. I liked Sarah Silverman in it, she’s funny. The film was entertaining while it lasted, and thought it’d make for a great date movie. Watching the film wasn’t a total waste, but in retrospect, I’d have to say that this was not a film that you’d have to go out and catch.
