Look up the word "Loser" in the dictionary, and you'll probably find a photo of 31-year-old Tommy there. This underachieving, alcoholic, irresponsible auto mechanic has just been fired for stealing from his boss. So he now spends his time as a near-permanent barfly at the eccentric Trees Lounge. However, when he's not at the bar, Tommy is engaged in immature activities that wreak havoc in his life -- and those of others. But when the repercussions of Tommy's acts begin to occur, will he be stable enough to cope with them? Or will they just further his downward spiral? [More]

B+

An impressive feature debut from indie icon Buscemi, a serio-comedy and character study of a barfly (played by Buscemi) and the entourage that frequents the same working bar day after day; John Cassavetes would have been proud of this film.

Not nearly as interesting as Buscemi's body of work in front of the camera.

Buscemi does a fine job directing this sad, realistic, sometimes humorous look into the life of an alcoholic.

at least Buscemi doesn't let the self-pity get too thick
