In a comedy atmosphere, this movie follows the struggles of an aspiring writer, Jim that goes to find his way to success in New York. Things come to challenge him when he fails and has to return to his hometown.
Though this clash of picket-fenced, down-home values and big city oafishness was handled with a little more delicacy in 2005's superb 'Junebug', Buscemi's film has lots to say about this fruitful dynamic.
