This
is the perfect role for Steve Buscemi: an out of work drunk
that ends up driving an ice cream truck and hitting on a 16 year old
(Chloe Sevigny) and getting beat up by her father (Daniel Baldwin).
It's very funny in a down-and-out kind of way. When Buscemi reluctanly
takes over the ice cream truck route, his heart's really not in it.
Kids don't want to buy ice cream from him. One kid asks for a fudgicle,
but since there are none left, he gives the kid a creamsicle instead
and drives off (what's the difference, he figures). It's a life totally
out of balance, but in his own little corner of Brooklyn, Buscemi's
character is simply happy living day to day.
