Title: Broken Hearts Club Is Just Broken
Review: I love gay mainstream films and purchased The Broken Hearts Club with great anticipation. To say that my enthusiasm was short lived would be an understatement! The characters are all so whiny,feeling sorry for themselves and chronic complainers that there is no one to root for during the whole 96 minute opus. While similar gay themed films like Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss,Jeffrey,The Object Of My Affection and Trick had characters to cheer for (or hate),this film elicted neither sympathy for nor empathy with any of the characters they were all so unlikable. And you got the impression that though these were supposed to be friends.....they were anything but. The story was thin to say the least and continuity was sadly lacking. The best performance came from veteran actor John Mahoney and his scenes were too few to carry and save this film. Hopefully a sequel is not planned for The Broken Hearts Club!
