I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With (2006)
“Like Curb Your Enthusiasm, which Garlin has directed on occasion, I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With has a conversational tone. Unlike too many movies made and populated by comedians, it has no striving for effect, no anxiety that we won’t get the joke. It is a movie made by friends about friends, and we get to feel curiously as if they are our friends.”
- Roger Ebert, Chicago-Sun Times
“Laid back and affectionate, Cheese is the movie version of a dear friend you could spend all day with.”
- Matt Zoller Seitz, The New York Times
“For those of you who don’t think food is an important factor in a relationship, just know that the leading cause of many divorces isn’t irreconcilable differences but lactose intolerance.”
- Mark Jordan Legan, National Public Radio
