Good film



Having never heard of Harvey Pekar, this was quite refreshing. Making comics of every day life. That is a really interesting concept.

I thought Hope Davis was fabulous. I loved Joyce. Toby was hilarious. Cannot believe someone in real life really talks like that. lol

I thought that it was hilarious that Joyce after just meeting Harvey and hardly knowing him said: "Harvey, I think we should get married." Very funny moment.

Paul Giamatti played Harvey slightly exaggerated I thought, especially playing him miserable.
But he did a good job nonetheless.

It's a good story, and I loved that despite Harvey being such a gloomy guy, that Joyce stuck with him until his death.

What a quirky and interesting match this couple is/was.

It's a funny film, with some somber moments, and it's a good 1 hour and 41 minutes to spend.
