Breakfast of Champions Reviews
Rudolph lets his directorial vision loose here, a giddy cinematic id that displays more imagination and more daring in every cathode tube and every street sign, every growl and every rant, than most Hollywood movies have in their whole run time.

…a serious attempt to distil Kurt Vonnegut’s big ideas in a cinematic way, with top talent rising to depict a dystopian present that’s now the dystopian long-gone past…

There's an amazingness to this train wreck... It makes every mistake you could possibly make in adapting a Kurt Vonnegut book.

Structurally, the film is a mess: on screen, the novel's digressive, anecdotal narrative seems directionless and muddled.

Rudolph exagera ao transformar o filme em um delrio (in)digno de Terry Gilliams, mas o roteiro, sua mensagem e as atuaes acabam equilibrando a balana.

Adaptating a Vonnegut book isn't easy. This movie pulls it off (for the most part).

What could be funnier than Nick Nolte in a dress?

Breakfast of Champions -- the movie -- isn't the book, but it's probably the best screen adaptation Alan Rudolph or any other director could hope to get out of the source material.

A ghastly misfire that brings out the self-indulgent worst in everyone involved.
