5.0 out of 5 stars A true classic for Kaufman fans, December 24, 1999

If you are prepared for a low-budget, high nonsense movie, you'll love My Breakfast with Blassie. The movie seems either very spontaneous or highly disorganized. Whatever the case is, it is a slow starter. Those who are not intrigued with Kaufman may get a little restless, but those who are patient will really enjoy this little bit that has been put together. I laughed my tail off, and my girlfriend (who is not a huge Kaufman fan) found it humorous.

5.0 out of 5 stars So funny it is stupid!, March 25, 2001

At first you will be scratching your head asking yourself......"What the heck is this?" By the end of the movie you will be laughing like a madman and be telling yourself....."now I get it." Die-hard Andy fans will love it. Any wrestling fan who knows Freddie Blassie will love it. This movie has no point, not reason for being made, and no plot. It is just two guys sitting down shooting the bull about absolutely nothing. And it keeps you captivated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious spoof of MY DINNER WITH ANDRE, August 29, 2009

By

This review is from: My Breakfast with Blassie (DVD)

The film "My Dinner with Andre," is made up almost entirely of a highly intellectual dinner conversation between two old acquaintances at an upscale restaurant on Manhattan's Upper West Side. So here, Andy Kaufman made a film about an anti-intellectual breakfast conversation between former pro-wrestler/wrestling manager Freddie Blassie and himself, at a very downscale pancake house in Los Angeles.

We are treated to Kaufman and Blassie discussing things like their aversion to shaking peoples' hands: Blassie notes that the person extending his hand could have just been wiping himself "and their finger could have gone through the toilet paper."

Kaufman and Blassie are being served breakfast by a very pregnant Thai waitress. Blassie rubs her belly, talking friendly to her and telling her it's for good luck. Then, after she walks away, he tells Kaufman, "Now we don't have to tip her so much." Later on in the film, he rubs her belly again, and then, after she walks away, comments: "That's another one we'll be feeding on welfare."

Kaufman's parody works, but it may not be for everyone. If you haven't seen "My Dinner with Andre," you may not fully get it. Also, this kind of humour is very different from almost anything you will see in a "mainstream" Hollywood comedy. But, having said that, I found "My Breakfast with Blassie" to be a real gas and recommend it highly!
