As the richest man in a small town, Bruce Willis is having an existential crisis in this tedious adaptation of the Kurt Vonnegut Jr novel. He spends most of the movie contemplating ending it all and, after enduring two hours of this mess, you might too. An able cast — including Nick Nolte, Albert Finney and Barbara Hershey — supports Willis, but they are hindered by an incoherent script and uncertain direction by Alan Rudolph.

Quriky Madness
If you like movies such as Fear and loathing in las vegas then this is just for you. Sheer madness like watching an acid trip. The cast is fantastic Willis is on top form as Dwayne Hooper and the star stubbed cast give first rate performances. Every one that has seen this movie love it. Pure madness.

not a breakfast movie, but really good
this is one of the most beautiful films i have ever seen, it is difficult to watch for some, but i feel that if you can see what it is about then you will understand why it was made that way.

I love it, its just got to be respected a bit more.
you may not love it however, I would say that you have to be prepared, its meaningful, strange and much more coherent than people make it out to be -

In the Best Possible Taste: The Foodie Movie
- 08 Oct 2007
It was in Breakfast of Champions that Kurt Vonnegut imagined life on a planet devoid of all plants and animals save humanoids. These humanoids took pleasure in (to our minds) an exotic, even aberrant form of pornography. It wasn't the sexual act that repelled and transfixed them. It was images of food and eating. For an hour and a half, the movie camera barely strayed from close ups of lips, teeth, and bobbing Adam's apples as a family pigged out over a simulated meal. At the film's climax,... Read more
