DIRECTED BY: Steve Buscemi

REVIEWED: 12-18-96

Indie acting stalwart Steve Buscemi tries his hand at writing and directing. The result is this odd episodic tale of a terminal loser (Buscemi) in suburban New Jersey. Our hero hangs out in a bar, gets a job as an ice cream truck driver and hangs out in a bar some more. That's about it. Guest stars (Debi Mazur, Samuel L. Jackson) liven up the proceedings occasionally. As far as comedies go, it's pretty depressing. More like a Tom Waits song come to life than a full-blown Bukowskism, though.
