Over all, this adaptation didn't live up to the book. There were some great moments and some superb acting jobs (Nick Nolte played a fabulous cross dresser and Bruce Willis was a perfect Dwayne Hoover), but the ending especially lacked the excellent writing of the book, and seemed to be just that; a way to end the film. I can easily appreciate the negative opinion expressed by a person who hasn't read the book. It's like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas in that respect. Neither films nor books are mainstream enough for the average viewer these days, who want movies that involve as little thinking as possible. Moving on to the fantastic conclusion, Breakfast of Champions is a film of substance, but lacks a worthy ending.
