One of my all time favorites.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

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

I've seen this movie several times, and just LOVED it. It's been some time now since I last saw it, and because I'd really love to see it again and show my friend, I started searching the internet. I'm quite surprised about the amount of negative comments I found on this movie. It's absolutely one of my favorites. It's intelligent on many levels, including the humorous one - I laughed my heart out! I must say I didn't realize it was based on a book, but since this movie already is this great in my opinion, I'm very curious about the book itself. No further explanations about why I like this movie - I just think it's FANTASTIC!

This is the other Kurt Vonnegut Jr. adaptation I watched in tribute to his passing: basically, it offers the same moral as SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE (1972) - which, at least, shows a consistency within the author's work. The film's general tone is a surreal one, and its satire on media and the business world (where everyone demonstrates a slick and confident veneer but is actually suffering from various hang-ups) is generally interesting and occasionally amusing, but also chaotic and somewhat heavy-handed. A good cast tries hard - Bruce Willis (in yet another attempt at a dramatic role as a man who has everything but sees no point to his life), Albert Finney (as the ageing unappreciated writer, whose work has only ever been published in porn magazines, suddenly exalted to the status of a philosopher) and especially Nick Nolte (as a cross-dressing executive). I seem to recall that this film was barely released and got universally panned by critics at the time but it's hardly a catastrophe; there is also a nicely animated credit sequence and the playful score helps smooth over some of the film's rougher patches.

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.

It is really great movie, I think that it is greatly underrated because most of people came to see it expecting fights, action and bloodshed, but it is not the kind of movie. A bit unusual to see Bruce Willis in such a role, but he's a good actor and done very well here.The meaning of the movie is more spiritual and psychological than just a mere tangle of various script twists. Lots of things here are symbolical. For example I love the scene where main character misunderstands the words of the wise man, and turns violent. Oh, and have in mind - the second half of the movie is totally different than the first one, so be patient.Maybe the book is better - haven't read it, can't say, but judging according to other MOVIES, not books, this one is on my top 5. if you liked this one, I recommennd you also watch Rozencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead; Pi.10/10
