You cannot spell profound without a capital Z. See. Now I'm being profound.

I haven't read Vonnegut's novel, so, even though I'm usually a fan of weird shit like this, it was far too disjointed and the visual style was a gallery of extremely bad taste.

there are some major, i mean major, pieces of the story omitted from the book, i mean, this thing actually makes no sense without those pieces. it actually looks like the writer had wanted to make a movie to ride on the coat tails of fear and loathing in las vegas one year earlier. which, by the way, was far inferior to vonnegut's masterpiece. having read the book i placed the missing plot points into their places and that makes this a decent movie.

...and all of those points are because I like me some weird. Maybe this would make some sort of sense if I'd read the book, but a film that comes with required reading isn't really doing its job.

Madder than the mad hatter himself, this wildly uneven ride will most likely prove to be intolerable to most. Still, it does have truly memorable scenes, including a cross-dressing and very shameful Nick Nolte, everything Albert Finney and Omar Epps as the utterly insane Wayne Hoobler. Fairyland!

DO NOT watch it without reading the Vonnegut's novel first!

Just because you own the rights to adapt something into a film doesn't mean it's a good idea.

needless "visual flair" buries the movie.

Unlikeable, uninteresting characters slog through a surreal, boring story. Frustratingly awful.
