Drama Tommy (Steve Buscemi) has lost his job, his love and his life. He lives in a small apartment above the Trees Lounge, a bar which he frequents along with a few other regulars without lives. He gets a job driving an ice cream truck and ends up getting involved with the seventeen year old niece of his ex-girlfriend. This gets him into serious trouble with her father (Daniel Baldwin). Tommy's life is an endless cycle of misery.

	Media	Author	Review
		Stephen Holden The New York Times	"[The] dialogue, which is partly improvised, captures the tone, attitude and daily rhythm of suburban blue-collar life with an accuracy and depth rarely seen in a movie."
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The most accurate portrait of the daily saloon drinker I have ever seen (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Geoff Andrew Time Out	"A beautifully low-key, disarmingly perceptive blue-collar character-study, reminiscent of vintage Cassavetes in its sociological and emotional authenticity"
		Adam Smith Empire	"There are effective moments (...) but at the end of the day perhaps a trip to the bar will be more fun (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Todd McCarthy Variety	"The film’s virtues are modest, but Buscemi has come out on top by taking on people and a place he clearly knows inside out"
