Aroview: A small-scale but deceptively smart and engaging "retail comedy" that spends a day in the life with a sarcastic LA law-school dropout who is called in for relieving duty in a delapidated ice cream van, where she begrudgingly serves a steady stream of eccentric customers.

Quirky yet honest, the stock-standard indie premise of twenty-something disappointment is made something special by the talented cast - Jess Weixler (TEETH) turns a contemptuous character into a blackly comic one, and Hitchcock muse Tippi Hendren brings a disarming poignancy as a fragile ex-starlet.

3 stars (Good Enough) Appealing performance from Jess W. Not overdone but kept to the correct length for a simple premise - commercial cinema take note. ~Tubbs

3 stars (Good Enough) A pleasant small-budget movie with laziness in the script, but one particularly sweet performance that makes up for it. ~Anon
