Steve
Buscemi and Thora Birch team up in this quirky drama/ comedy.
Birch and her best friend (Scarlett Johansson) have just graduated
high school. While her friend is interested in getting a job and an
apartment and moving along in life, Birch likes to just hang out in
her room or visit the mall until she meets Buscemi. He's a normal
but lonely guy who collects classic 78s as a hobby. The two form an
unlikely "couple", in which she's trying to fix him up,
but when he does finally meet someone, she's suddenly the third wheel.
A very interesting take on disaffected teenagers and their world.
