I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This movie is just unwatchable. Around 2/3 of what the viewer sees is simply annoying to the point of mental vomiting: characters, plot, visual effects, jokes. The rest is either boring or cheesy / kitschy: dialogs, camera work, acting, the sex scene. And those very few moments / ideas of some real content or value are always quickly covered with layers of cinematic oddness conceived in a wrong wayCounting on that after few more minutes this horror is going to stop is just futile- it goes on and on in the same sick style for at least 50 minutes. Because after those 50 minutes you would have to be a hard core sadomasochist to watch even few more minutes further. It is simply awful and painful to watch. It is a pure tortureThis movie does not not deserve the 1/10 rating. If should be rated as 0/10If you want to see a Vonnegut's adaptation, or cinematic oddness conceived in a good way, go watch the extraordinary "Slaughterhouse-Five" (1972). And then you can watch the "Mother Night" (1996); but only up to the point when a black Nazi from Harlem shows up on the screen, because after that it kind of starts to go down the toilet, to the pipe leading in the similar direction as the "Breakfast Of Champions" does

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.

This is a very odd Comedy, that has it's up's and downs, with a decent story, and very good performances, however it's not for everyone. All the characters are decent, and some scenes were very wacky, plus Bruce Willis is simply amazing in this!. Omar Epps is a riot as the obsessed fan of Dwayne Hoover, and Willis is extremely OTT but very funny, plus it's decently made and written. I bought this at a VHS blowout sale for 1$ because I'm a huge fan of Bruce Willis, and well it wasn't quite as funny as I thought it was going to be I wasn't sorry I watched it, and the ending was very well done, plus Nick Nolte especially made me laugh with his bizarre yet very funny performance. I still don't quite know how I feel about this film on a whole, I mean I did laugh a number of times, but I just felt it could have been better, that being said it was still a decent watch, and I loved it when Bruce went all crazy in the finale and started causing hell, plus this has to be one of the wackiest Comidies I have seen. This is a very odd Comedy, that has it's up 's and down, with a decent story, and very good performances, however it's not for everyone, worth the watch. The Direction is decent. Alan Rudolph does a decent job here with not too bad camera work, OK angles and keeping the film amusing and at a fairly fast pace. The Acting is very good. Bruce Willis is amazing as always and is amazing here, he gives an extremely OTT but hilarious performance, as he was always paranoid and acting weird, it was really cool to see him play a different character like this, and he pulled it off with perfection, this is one of my favorite performances he has given! (Willis Rules!!!!!!!!). Albert Finney is very good in his role, he had a cool character I liked him. Nick Nolte is bizarre but very good here, he cracked me up often, and also played a type of character I Hadn't seen him play before, I loved him!. Barbara Hershey is very pretty and did well with what she had to do I liked her. Glenne Headly is good as Francie and did her job well. Lukas Haas is OK as the son, and did his job adequately. Omar Epps stole a lot of the scenes as the obsessed fan of Dwayne Hoover with a similar name, it was especially hilarious when he started cooking food on a Car's engine, I loved his performance!. Vicki Lewis, Will Patton, Owen Wilson,Shawnee Smith and Michael Clarke Duncan all do what they have to do well. Rest of the cast are fine. Overall worth the watch. **1/2 out of 5 (almost ***)

Maybe I just didn't get it, but I thought this was the worst movie I had ever seen. The story made no sense, it dragged on forever. Some of the best actors on the planet did some of the worst acting I've ever seen. All in all, it was like psychological torture to watch this thing. The only reason I watched the whole movie was because I wanted to see if it could possibly stay that bad all the way through or if it was going to get better. It was a strange state of disbelief, i couldn't believe something could be that bad. It never did get better, it was terrible right 'til the end. At least that's my opinion. In conclusion unless you like death by slow torture, or you're in to really bizarre movies, don't watch this one.
