American Splendor is a biographical film that traces the life story of comic book writer Harvey Pekar, played by Paul Giamatti. The movie blends an exciting mix of live-action and animated sequences that typify much of Pekar's life as he copes with the woes of the mundane, everyday life in Cleveland, Ohio. A renowned creator of a brutally honest but bleak comic series known as American Splendor, the series reveals how his work mirrors his riddled life with mundane realities, health problems, and relationships.
