The EPA has some questions about toxic waste in the housing development Hoover owns. I need to hear truths I haven't heard before. He is inclined to reject the invitation, but thinks better of it. So Trout hits the highway, walking and mumbling, tormented by visions of Paradise. Unbeknownst to him, his destiny will cross with Hoover's, even as Hoover continues to unravel.
Trout asks no one in particular.
But Breakfast is unlikely to win much affection from audiences. The latest film adaptation of the prolific Vonnegut's works, it's full of the writer's quirks but has little of his wisdom or charm. Nolte, especially, looks like he's going to have a stroke whenever his Harry LeSabre frets about his deep secret. There are too many characters, some of whom appear for a moment, then vanish. The entire film is larger than life, but not in a good way.
