Harvey Pekar is one of the most under-rated comic book writers of our time. He was most active in the late 80's and early 90's and hails from Cleveland, OH, USA. The film stars Paul Giamatti as Pekar and Hope Davis as his wife, Joyce. It's brilliantly done with woven cinematography that resembles actual comic strips. The story is touching and inspiring, documenting important events in Pekar's life, including his battle with cancer. Pekar is a role model for all artists and comic lovers. Watch this film, you won't be disappointed.

This is a cute film. Giamatti is as always perfect and the little snippets with Pecar are funny and touching.If you like the comics youll no doubt love this
