Watch The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

People are voting emotionally.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

It's a group of gay friends in West Hollywood. Dennis (Timothy Olyphant) is a photographer with an upcoming birthday. Benji (Zach Braff) is blonde. Cole (Dean Cain) is the charismatic manizer. The group also includes grad student Howie, Taylor, Patrick, Leslie, Anne and many others. Jack (John Mahoney) is the owner of a restaurant who keeps trying organize a softball team The Broken Hearts.Everybody is being so gay. It reeks of sitcom gays except it is so sincere. It is a gay rom-com. The comedy is pretty weak. The romance is fleeting. There are so many characters and some of them blend into each together. I don't feel for any of the relationships. I couldn't keep track of who's who and I don't really care about any of them.

I saw "The Broken Hearts Club" when I was 25 years old. I had been out of the closet for 9 years already and had seen about every gay movie ever made. The vast majority of them were painful coming out stories that I couldn't relate to as my coming out was a wonderful time for me. My friends and family loved and accepted me.The reason this movie resonates with me is because it was the first gay movie I could relate to. So much was captured in the film that was a snapshot of my life. There was the way gay guys sit around all day talking about men. The petty jealousy of ex boyfriends who still want to sleep with each other. The thing that struck the strongest chord with me, however, was the way Kevin, after being so apprehensive about being with gay people, became completely acclimated to the group. It was my life when I was 24 exactly. To this day I still watch this movie ad it tugs at my heartstrings because it is the most accurate portrayal of gay life as I have known it.Before and after, no gay movie has been able to do what "The Broken Hearts Club" did so well. It portrayed the newness, the apprehension, the fear, the adventure, the heartache, the friendship and the survival that goes along with being gay. If you're gay, you should watch this movie to see that there are people who can relate to you. If you're not gay, watch it and understand what happens to many of us in our lives. You won't regret it.

A big cable channel in Brazil displays "The Broken Hearts Club" with certain frequency, and last night I decided giving it a chance. I knew, from the get go, it would portray the lives of some gay dudes, but I didn't know this was the entire theme of the film. Anyways, it deserves a huge recognition for such professional cast. Filmmakers have chosen a bunch of straight guys to portray the homosexual characters, and that just proves how courageous are the actors involved in this project, mainly if considering that homosexuality wasn't an open theme in 2000 as it is nowadays. I guess these actors have suffered a lot of pressure from the media. The plot isn't anything remarkable; there are some common guys that face the old problems of sex without commitment and the friendship above anything else. Also, considering it referees itself as a romantic comedy, I believe they could've made more jokes throughout the story. The sperm donating scene, for example, could've had some jokes to make the story more enjoyable, but the writer seemed to be lazy whilst building that scene. Moreover, albeit the film has only 94 minutes, sometimes I felt like it was too long to deliver such needless moments. So, that's it: "The Broken Hearts Club" is a nice movie to see once in your life, but it isn't going to surprise you in any aspect. For entertainment, almost only, it's worth it.

Broken Hearts Club is pretty much the exact sort of movie you can see on Lifetime or the Hallmark Channel but with an all gay plot. It's a slickly produced feel good movie with an attractive cast. And that's it. Great for Saturday evening viewing if, unlike the characters in the film, you're not out at a club. A shot or two of tequila or a few glasses of wine or a couple bottles of beer or all of the above will vastly improve your viewing pleasure.Since Broken Hearts Club doesn't think it's something it isn't it's sort of not fair to tear it apart. But if you don't like cliché characters, completely predictable plots, unfunny jokes, and ridiculous dialog don't watch Broken Hearts Club.
