The film follows around James (Jeff Garlin) who is an overweight actor....typical Hollywood 'loser'. He lives with his mother, has a witty successful friend and can't seem to find a girlfriend. The camera seems to follow him around as he bumbles through daily life. He meets quirky Beth (Sarah Silverman) and she ends up slightly breaking his heart. As the movie ends he has his own apartment, is in a play at his mother's rest home and has a new love interest played by Bonnie Hunt.
I REALLY wanted to see this movie for a long time and to be honest I was really disappointed. Too much Sarah and not enough Bonnie. The sadder his life got, the sadder I felt. I started to feel like a fat, broke, out of work actor! I love Jeff Garlin on Curb, but it was a litttleeeeeeeeeeeee too much of him for me.
Favorite line: "What do pirates have to do with hot dogs?"
Rating: 2/5 cheese wheels.
