Fantastic!

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Greetings from Lithuania."Breakfast of Champions" (1999) is a movie i really wanted to like, but at the end it turn out to be a one big mess of a film. There were a potential here to create something unique, and it is in some sort a unique movie but unfortunately not in a good way. Saw this movie like 15 year ago and the best thing what i can remember about it that the ending was kinda nice, i mean the message it showed (i will keep it to myself). Performances were OK, but the script is a one big mess. They tried to make many things in one story but at the end everything just felt short. Directing was also not good, because this is a very difficult movie to watch - it does not engage the viewer, but leaves it alone with the hard to swallow material.Overall, "Breakfast of Champions" is just a mess. It tried to many things in one picture, but failed first off all to show it in a more approachable way. Not a good movie by any means.

I am a big Bruce Willis fan and have been since the days of Moonlighting and his early films like Blind Date or The Return of Bruno (I even have the soundtrack album performed by Bruce Willis) and normally enjoy everything he's in, including the video game Apocalypse, his voice over work is even admirable, but this is most certainly and exception to the rule. I also happen to be an avid reader of Kurt Vonnegut, from Slaughter House Five to Cat's Cradle, to Slapstick, to Player Piano, to Thank You Mr. Rosewater, Welcome to the Monkey House, Deadeye Dick, Mother Night, Timequake, Thank You Dr. Kevorkian... the list goes on and on and on. This one happens to be one of my favorite stories of all time, but once again this movie falls short in nearly every category. There was a total lack of continuity and in fact,if I hadn't read the book I'm not so sure I would have even been sure of what was really going on in this movie. In short: read Breakfast of Champions, by Kurt Vonnegut, don't watch it!

Maybe I just didn't get it, but I thought this was the worst movie I had ever seen. The story made no sense, it dragged on forever. Some of the best actors on the planet did some of the worst acting I've ever seen. All in all, it was like psychological torture to watch this thing. The only reason I watched the whole movie was because I wanted to see if it could possibly stay that bad all the way through or if it was going to get better. It was a strange state of disbelief, i couldn't believe something could be that bad. It never did get better, it was terrible right 'til the end. At least that's my opinion. In conclusion unless you like death by slow torture, or you're in to really bizarre movies, don't watch this one.

Great movie... No surprise I guess that I'm a big fan of Vonnegut... A writer with the guts to write in an unashamedly cartoon-like, un-politically correct and honest manner, which I personally dig. The take on Harry LeSabre's cross dressing tendencies (the scene with Wayne Hoobler in Harry's office is priceless), Dwayne Hoover's erratic mood swings and the need for Bunny Hoover and his mum to actually be noticed by the main man of the Exit 11 Motor Village were all acted out with tasty character acting skill and delivered with true gusto and appreciation for the material and it's source. Also, the portrayal of the 'cult' of Kilgore Trout (check out the awesome landscape cinematography behind Kilgore's Sci-Fi ramblings), it's followers and all the other reoccurring characters in Vonneguts's Novels, not to mention those hauntingly surreal mirror sequences in the most unlikely of places were simply beautiful...I first saw this movie in the Phillipines with a packed house. I don't know whether whether I was laughing harder at the movie or more at the disgust of the people watching it... I think they saw the R Rating and Bruce Willis's name and figured they were in for some good old Bruce Willis knock em' dead action with a bit of Hollywood sex mixed in for good measure... However by the time Dwayne Hoover was engaged somewhat romantically with his Secretary in the Holiday Inn honeymoon suite the entire theater was empty save for myself and one man who hadn't yet finished his bucket of fried chicken... I guess some people just don't appreciate the combination of middle-aged water bed sex and unruly comb-overs?? This movie wasn't made for everybody, but so what... I think it had to be made this way... It's a testament to a somewhat bizarre, original and funny writer... Personally I really can't fault it... The acting, direction and soundtrack are wonderful... I'd never been so moved by such a corny old song as 'Stranger in Paradise' before I'd seen this film. As they they, it's all in the delivery... As a music producer and part-time sound-tracker I look up to these sort of works with awe... It's about time we stop worshiping actors to the nth degree and start celebrating storytellers once more...Well done Alan Rudolph and Co. Well done world... Makes me happy to be a part of it... And remember, it's all life until you die ;))
