Lonesome Jim

A gently comic character drama from director Steve Buscemi, starring Casey Affleck - so good in The Assassination of Jesse James... - as a selfish, aimless young man who returns home to live with his family when his career as a writer in New York fails. Although he'd like to think this suburban world is too small for him, he soon learns - with the help of local girl Liv Tyler - that he's not half as smart or special as he thinks he is.
