Character actor
Steve Buscemi made his debut as a writer and director with this seriocomic tale of a guy who is going through something but doesn't know just what it is.
Tommy is a 31-year-old auto mechanic who lost his last job after "borrowing" 1,500 dollars from the cash register and heading to Atlantic City, where he wasted no time losing it all at the tables. The fact that he can't get his own car to run isn't impressing any prospective employers, so
Tommy spends much of his time at the Trees Lounge, a local watering hole conveniently located downstairs from his apartment. Eventually
Tommy lands some work driving an ice cream truck and becomes acquainted with his ex-girlfriend's 17-year-old niece,
Debbie (
Chloë Sevigny). When they half-heartedly fall into a romance, it's just one more thing for
Tommy to be confused about.
Buscemi draws upon a rich cast of supporting actors, including
Elizabeth Bracco,
Anthony LaPaglia,
Carol Kane,
Debi Mazar,
Samuel L. Jackson, and
Mimi Rogers.
