Quotes
Andy Kaufman: The life of a part-time wrestler is no laughing matter. It's not just fun and games like some people think. You work out, train constantly, push your body to the limit of endurance - and nobody seems to care. I have wrestled and defeated over 400 women, and what do I get? The men call me a wimp, the women say I'm a sexist pig. But then again, I guess you have to expect that sort of thing when you're a famous TV star like I am.

If you get it, you'll get it.

Basically My Breakfest with Blassie is a hysterical classic. I came across this gem randomly 25 years after it's production. I have the distinct advantage of being both a fan of Kauffman and Blassie.

The dynamic that these two men have is incredible. Blassie is a tough, old-school, straight talking type and Kauffman plays to it wonderfully. Kauffman lets Blassie be Blassie and reacts often like a starry eyed kid in awe of his wisdom and knowledge.

This movie is funny if you get Kauffman. I read the review on here stating that this is "two guys eating...boring" or whatever. If that is your opinion then you simply don't grasp Kauffman's comedy.
