I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With
Watch TrailerLife 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.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a bittersweet character study from the rubble of faded dreams and comfort food. It explores the quiet desperation of artistic compromise with a gentle, observational humor that feels deeply personal rather than broadly comic.
What lingers after the credits is not a punchline, but the poignant ache of recognizing our own vulnerabilities in James's quest for connection. It’s a small film with a big heart, celebrating the minor triumphs in a life of perceived setbacks. — MovieFinder Editorial
