|  Set
in the 1970's, Breakfast on Pluto follows the exploits of Patrick
‘ Kitten’ Braden (Murphy), an endearing, but deceptively
tough young man. Abandoned as a baby in his small Irish hometown
and aware from a very early age that he is different, he tries
to figure out who his birth mother is and find a place in the
world, reinventing himself as the glamorous transvestite Kitten,
hooking up with a warm-hearted hypnotist (Rea) and becoming accidentally
involved in illegal IRA bombing plots. Patrick survives this harsh
environment with the aid of his wit and charm, plus a sweet refusal
to let anyone and anything change who he is.
Jordan weaves a wonderfully surreal and
magical tale to bring us this funny, moving and poignant rites-of-passage
account of a young man enduring the trials and tribulations he
faces with a smile and unwavering faith in the inherent goodness
in us all.
