“American Splendor”

Paul Giamatti starred in the film adaptation of comic book writer Harvey Pekar’s autobiographical series, first published in 1976. Set in Ohio, the series follows Pekar, his family, friends, and coworkers—sorry, folks, no superheroes. The 2003 film version received critical acclaim as well as top honors at the Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for an Academy Award for best adapted screenplay.
