Staff writer Come eat cheese, make new friends, share a few laughs and take in a flick.
The Aiken Center for the Arts (ACA) Reel Art Film Series will present its first film of 2009, "I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With" where sometimes love is a big bowl of wrong.
The film features Jeff Garlin from "Curb Your Enthusiasm" making his directorial debut.
Garlin plays an overweight comedian who is a frustrated actor. The movie is an adaptation of Garlin's stage show and features a supporting cast to include Bonnie Hunt, Sarah Silverman and Amy Sedaris.
The Internet Movie Database (IMDB) describes the films plot by saying, "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.
"He has a minor meltdown when talking at a grade school career day. Things look up when he meets the quirky Beth at an ice cream shop. Can James make a career for himself, move out from mom's, and find someone to eat cheese with? Or is he destined to watch Jackie Gleason and be Marty for the rest of his life?"
A cheese tasting will be at 6:30 p.m. with the film starting at 7 p.m. The 80 minute film is rated R. Tickets are $8 each and student discounts are offered.
