Guide Review - Breakfast on Pluto DVD Review
As a child Kitten knew that he wasn't like other boys. Growing up, Kitten enjoyed things a little outside of the norm. Raised by the kindly Father Bernard (Liam Neeson), Kitten's one goal in life is to reunite with the mother who gave him up shortly after he was born.
Kitten's search for his birth mother is a twisty affair. Along the way he becomes involved with various interesting men and is even suspected of being a terrorist. But despite the setbacks and the strange turns his quest takes, Kitten never really loses his optimistic spirit.
The Bonus Features
The Breakfast on Pluto DVD includes only the most basic bonus features, as might be expected of a lower budgeted independent film. Besides a Behind the Scenes featurette, Cillian Murphy and director Jordan contribute to a commentary track which starts off slowly but kicks into higher gear halfway through.
