Really great movie. Cleverly constructed and well-acted. You've got to love someone as original and honest as Harvey Pekar! Highly recommended!

One of the best I have seen since January 2003.

The actors are very good.

And the episodes involving Letterman quite enlightening.

I'm half way through it right now and so far it ranks as one of the best I've seen in quite some time. I love Netflix ( i know I sound like an ad) but it lets me take chances on movies that I probably wouldn't see if I was going to Blockbuster....

Awesome flick. 2 Thumbs up!!

It's up there on my list. I LOVE the blatant honesty he has. Towards the end of the movie they skipped in to the future a bit and he made it a point to say "It wasn't all great and wonderful during those years" [or something like that]. I felt that unlike many films that pull the "happily ever after" BS, he had a tough go of it, but was lucky enough to succeed.
