I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With

2006 · 80 min

A bittersweet, gently funny character study that feels like a low-key stroll with a self-deprecating friend.

Tagline
Sometimes love is just a big bowl of wrong.
Overview
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.
