An original mix of fiction and reality illuminates the life of comic book hero everyman Harvey Pekar.
Ingenious combination of staged and real life scenes and comic book elements, this way truly recreating the actual intentions of the comic series.
Halliwell **: "Occasionally engaging mix of drama and documentary, in which Harvey Pekar comments on his experiences and this movie; the collision between himself as he appears and as he is played by Giametti adds piquancy, but it often seems just ordinary."
Maltin ***1/2: "Innovative film...(...). The filmmakers manage to fuse footage of Pekar, his family, and friends with their movie alter egos in a fresh and constantly surprising way. Giametti is perfect as the unrepentant curmudgeon."
