Jeff Garlin‘s comedic style is pleasant and conversational, with a tendency towards delving into the absurd. Through a curious mix of spontaneity and grounded looseness, the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” co-star likes to keep things weird and off-kilter, yet still self-contained and approachable. It’s an odd balance, but one that worked quite well in “I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With,” his warm, breezy, entirely charming directorial debut that proved him to be a cordial filmmaker and appealing leading man.

With I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With and now Dealin’ with Idiots, comedian Jeff Garlin has started an oeuvre of modest, immensely personal films inspired by his own experiences. If his 2006 feature was a pathetic version of his life—fat, single, unsuccessful and living with his mother—his follow-up is probably closer to the truth: Here he’s Max, a famous comedian and father, equal parts disgusted and fascinated by the antics of the parents of his son’s youth baseball team. In a meta move, Max decides to get to know these wackos for research for a film—this film....

Chicago – Jeff Garlin is what he is. He wants to emphasize that characteristic over any in the formation and development of his many characters – most famously as Jeff Greene on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and The Captain in the animated classic film “Wall-e.” Garlin also co-wrote and directed his latest film, “Dealin’ with Idiots.”
The film is a treatise on kid’s sports, in this case Little League baseball. Garlin portrays Max Morris, a “top twenty” comedian who simply wants his son to have fun playing the game. The other parents, the coaches and the rules conspire against that notion, and the Max character constantly fights against that system throughout the story. The film is off-beat and funny, using the same set-up and techniques as “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” with the actors improvising scenes based on an outline.

Comedian Jeff Garlin (Wall-e) is one of the more underrated talents in the comedy world. With a voice that's like a less cynical, more jovial Woody Allen, his directorial debut I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With was charming and unique. Now Garlin is back behind the camera (and in front of it) for Dealin' with Idiots, a somewhat meta story about a famous comedian (Garlin, not playing himself) who decides to use the rambunctious parents of his son's little league team as the inspiration for his next film. With a supporting cast that includes J.B. Smoove, Kerri Kenney and Timothy Olyphant, this looks like fun. Here's the first trailer for Jeff Garlin's Dealin' with Idiots from Yahoo: Dealin' with Idiots is directed by Jeff Garlin (director of I Want Someont to Eat Cheese With and star of Wall-e and "Curb Your Enthusiasm") who also wrote the script with...

It is no slur on the good name of funnyman Jeff Garlin (well, not too much of one, anyway) to suggest he isn’t the first person one would think of to make a sports movie. So, how did he come to both co-write and direct the forthcoming comedy Dealin’ With Idiots about the apparently very competitive world of youth league baseball?
“The inspiration was my son playing baseball,” the Curb Your Enthusiasm star and director of 2006′s I Want Someone To Eat Cheese With recently told EW. “I was like, I have to write a movie about this. So I did.

Jeff Garlin is an actor, writer, director, stand-up comedian, and, of course, Larry David’s amoral manager on Curb Your Enthusiasm (not to mention Susie Essman’s “fat f—” of a husband on the same). Beginning this Thursday, the funnyman will add “podcaster” to his resumé when By the Way, In Conversation with Jeff Garlin debuts on the Earwolf Podcast Network. As its name implies, the show features Garlin yakking it up with a series of notable acquaintances, including Larry David himself, who guests on the first episode.
Below, the jovial Garlin talks about his podcast, the future of Curb Your Enthusiasm,...

The Curb Your Enthusiasm star says British comedy was his touchstone. Now he's about to try out his mix of personal pathos and vulgarity on audiences here. He just hopes they get him
'If you react poorly to something, we will discuss it." With the roguish affability native to his unscrupulous Curb Your Enthusiasm character – Jeff Greene, manager and accomplice to Larry David – Jeff Garlin addresses the crowd at the Upright Citizens Brigade, Hollywood's improvisation hotspot. It's one of a flurry of appearances to fine tune the act for his run of shows at London's Soho Theatre, and he relishes the ridiculousness of inviting the audience to trash it as he performs. No one takes him up on the offer – they are all enjoying themselves too much.
Garlin is noticeably slimmer than his blobular Curb physique, the result of a "get lean and go green" campaign detailed in his 2010 memoir...

Chicago – There are few character actors in the history of cinema more mesmerizing and fearless than Philip Seymour Hoffman. He’s created some of the most memorable characters ever to grace the screen: from the sexually arrested Allen in “Happiness” and the obsessed playwright Caden Cotard in “Synecdoche, New York” to the electrifying title role in “Capote.”
His brilliant acting career obviously caused the excitement surrounding his feature filmmaking debut to be more than mildly palpable. Yet “Jack Goes Boating” is an unexpectedly benign morsel, with bittersweet tones reminiscent of Jeff Garlin’s equally “Marty”-like, “I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With.” Hoffman’s sweet, shy, schlubby-looking protagonist sports a nearly childlike naïveté that’s as lovable as it is disconcerting.
DVD Rating: 3.0/5.0
Based on Bob Glaudini’s play of the same name, the film centers on the hesitant romance that begins to blossom between two lost souls in New York City.
