An acclaimed, often-comic examination of a 31-year-old, unemployed barfly auto mechanic's pathetic non-existence. Losing his job after his friend and boss stole his girlfriend, this Long Island loser spends his days and nights in the titular watering hole (at least when he's not out driving an ice-cream truck), not realizing that talking about life isn't the same as living it. Star Steve Buscemi wrote the screenplay and makes his directorial debut.
