Steineded How sad is this?

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

jcc-6 This movie had an excellent cast and was based on a wonderful book by Kurt Vonnegut. So what went wrong?Most of the performances were a bit over the top but that wasn't the movie's main failing. There was a character, Dwayne's wife, who shouldn't have been in the movie at all except in possible flashbacks before she committed suicide. This still wasn't the movie's biggest fault. The biggest problem was the ending. Anyone who's ever read Vonnegut knows that happy endings aren't forthcoming. Dwayne shouldn't have reconciled with his son and wife (who, as mentioned earlier, was dead). It's too tidy and Vonnegut was anything but tidy.But probably the saddest part to me is that they actually had Vonnegut in the film without including the wonderful scene from the novel in which he interacts with the character Kilgore Trout. That alone could have saved this movie from all its other shortcomings.

851222 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.

kitagladys what was once just my favorite kurt vonnegut novel is so much more. now it is also my least enjoyed film of 1999. better yet, make that the most annoying film of 1999 because that is what this movie was like for me. sitting thru this movie felt the same as having a room full of semi-articulate know-it-all's try and out-talk each other. add in a topic of discussion of how to get the job done, and the fact that instead of actually doing the work they only talk, leaving you to do all the work, and you have a glimmer of how infuriating this movie was for me. back to the movie...it was just too too much. it was too loud, the camera angles were too extreme, the colors too vivid. had one of these area been moderated the others could have gone in excess and been appreciated. instead i sat with my head in hands clenching my jaw and my little fists with my hands.

petrinurmi This movie is the worst film I'we ever seen. I tried to see it three times but fell asleep EVERY TIME (so you can't blame me for trying). I did this to try to understand this film and maybe find the hidden wisdom behind it all. Needless to say, I never found it. This movie tries to be crazy, smart and innovative but ends up to be unbelievable boring and idiotic. The movie is a waste of money and talent. I consider "Barfly" being a smart movie, "Eternal sunshine of a spotless movie" a crazy movie and "Fight club" an innovative movie, "Breakfast of champions" didn't live up to any of these good qualities. If you are planning to rent this movie, read a book instead.
