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.

June 30, 2009No-all-that-great adaptation of a good-but-not-his-best book by Vonnegut; Lukas Haas is good, as he almost always is.

April 13, 2007I've read a lot of reviews that said this movie was horrible, but I've always considered it one of the better adaptations for the screen. The cast is marvelous, and that sense of the absurdly hilarious that Vonnegut was so well known for is prominent. Albert Finney is wonderful as Kilgore Trout. I will probably sit down and watch this again this weekend, to mourn the loss of one of my hero's, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. RIP.
