March 13, 2008Bruce Willis was fun in the movie, but I think his likability rapidly decreases when he thinks nothing matters anymore. Nick Nolte's cross dressing is annoying. Still, the film was entertaining.

Willis proves he can play something other than a hero, and puts on a phe... read more

August 5, 2007Maybe Bruce Willis' oddest role. I never read that particular Vonnegut novel but it appears to be in classic Vonnegut style. Entertaining with a good cast and interesting character work.

June 10, 2007This is pretty good if you have the patience for it. Bruce Willis' character just doesn't know where he fits in. Owen Wilson makes a cameo appearance during the film.

April 23, 2007I honestly wonder if anyone involved in making this disaster ever actually read the book. A truly dreadful, shameful adaptation of one the great works of fiction in American literary history.

April 16, 2007Criminally neglected, one of the best roles in Willis's career. Also, it happens to rate, IMHO, with Slaughterhouse 5 and Mother Night in terms of translating Vonnegut to screen.

Another middle-aged male-crisis opus, it begins on a note of total migraine-inducing hysteria, which continues unabated throughout. Full Review

The movie looks and feels like a frantic, live-action psychedelic cartoon. Full Review

Stanley Kauffmann, New Republic
A long series of misfires in writing and acting.

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rudolph's film, like most of his others, just isn't funny enough to sustain the lunacy. Full Review

If you can stand the tumult, you may find yourself feeling giddy as you watch old pros like Nolte, Willis, Hershey and, especially, Finney play at such a high pitch.

A misfire.

Breakfast of Champions is a weirdly stillborn experience.

Tasteless adaptation makes for flaky Breakfast.
