ShangLuda Admirable film.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

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.

SnoopyStyle Dwayne Hoover (Bruce Willis) owns a car dealership in Midland City. He's on his own commercials, married to Celia (Barbara Hershey) and is suicidal. Francine Pefko (Glenne Headly) is his secretary. His sales manager Harry Le Sabre (Nick Nolte) is just as crazy behind closed doors with his wife Grace (Vicki Lewis). Wayne Hoobler (Omar Epps) gets out of prison vowing to work for the similarly-named Dwayne Hoover. Reclusive Kilgore Trout (Albert Finney) is invited to a local arts festival.It's loud. It's crazy. It's ugly. It's incoherent. It's messy. I would rate this lower but this is done deliberately. I give it credit for its audacity. I think it might work better if Alan Rudolph is a better visual director. I'm willing to go with the craziness but this is too tough to watch.

brianshoebridge1 The IMDb rating for this movie is really, really mystifying. Yes, it is a strange movie but then again, Bruce Willis is someone not afraid to reach, sometimes even beyond his own level as an actor. He certainly reaches here and gives a creditable performance in a very demanding role.That Bruce likes to stretch himself is a good thing and means we have seen him at his best many times throughout his career. He is a self- made actor in many ways, perhaps similarly to George Clooney, he simply refused to not be successful. Contrast with Nicholas Cage - probably a better actor but plays it safe far too often with the result his filmography is the lesser.But back to BoC. Willis is joined by a strong cast, in particular the wonderfully nutty Glenne Headly. Nick Nolte, not my favourite actor, is surprisingly strong as a stressed out salesman. Albert Finney is a strange actor - lots of talent but there doesn't seem to have been any movie that suits him other than Erin Brockovitch.Yes, the movie is less detailed than the original Vonnegut book and this can make it bit spotty when it comes to understanding just exactly what is going on. But in a world of cookie-cutter films, BoC - for better & for worse - is decidedly not just another one.

James Ryker I must admit that when I saw the movie the first time I was a bit confused by the strange acting performances of all the Characters in the film but this is a stylized way of pointing out some attributes of a character. It's actually more stage acting than "natural acting" as we know it from average movies and I found that very interesting to see even though it may take a little time to get used to it.I think that breakfast of champions may be the best movie with Bruce Willis because if you get the message of the film it really goes deep. Maybe seeing the film just once is not enough.Cheers on my first comment in the internet movie data base.
