"I hate the "young trying to look older" vibe. I'd much rather look like a five-year-old than a 21-year-old. And I think that when i'm 21, I'm not going to dress super old either. I like the girlie girl too much.

Synopsis

James (Garlin) is an underemployed 39-year-old improvisational comedian who lives with his mother in an apartment where Jackie Gleason's Poor Soul always seems to be on television. Ever since his bar mitzvah, he has wanted only three things: someone to love him, a great part, and to lose weight. Unfortunately, he is 0 for 3. His girlfriend dumps him, he loses the title role in a remake of Paddy Chayefsky's Marty to teen idol Aaron Carter, and he sneaks out of an obsessive-overeaters meeting only to wind up at an ice cream parlor. There, the woman behind the counter tantalizes him with a free banana split before sleeping with him and finally breaking his heart by telling him that she doesn't date fat guys.

Curb Your Enthusiam's Jeff Garlin wrote, directed, and stars in this poignant romantic comedy about an overweight, underappreciated Chicago actor in search of a soul mate; or, as one woman (Sarah Silverman) so eloquently puts it before dumping him, "someone to eat cheese with."

Elle's Character

Penelope is the daughter of Luca (David Pasquesi), one of James' (Jeff Garlin) friends. She is one of the students at James' Career Day talk, and later serves as an excuse for James to meet with Stella (Bonnie Hunt).
