Amy's Movie Reviews (back from hiatus)

So, it's been a while. I have not been to the movies as much as usual. A lot of things have gotten in the way. These include: Knicks games, theater, comedy, and just general fatigue. But, I have seen a few movies and wanted to write some reviews for you, my awesome fans.
Last night I was at the Tribeca Film Festival for the premiere of Jeff Garlin's "I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With". Garlin is best known as Larry David's friend/agent on "Curb Your Enthusiasm". With this film he takes on a romantic comedy. The film is sweet, weird, and funny. And, although the film is rough around the edges, it has a lot of charm and will hopefully get seen.
Before I start with the movie, at the Q and A following the film Garlin talked about the fact that he lost funding twice and the film took almost two years to shoot. He also created almost every character for the actor playing it. His reliance on several improv and comic actors that are recognizable to comedy viewers is a good thing. There are scenes where you feel that Garlin just wanted this person he really likes to have a chance to be funny. And, for the most part, it works.
As the two women that Garlin falls for, Bonnie Hunt and Sarah Silverman showcase their comedic strengths. It also helps that both woman are really funny and help Garlin with some of the comedic heavy lifting.
And, for comedy/improv fans be on the lookout for Amy Sedaris, Richard Kind, Wallace Langham, and Homer Simpson himself Dan Castelleneta. I enjoyed the film and I hope it at least gets some minor distribution.
