Good nostalgia
6 January 2005
I enjoyed "Broken Hearts Club" primarily because it was good nostalgia about coming out as gay, making friends, etc. Its feel-good elements are reminiscent of "Queer as Folk" and "Love, Valour, Compassion" (though less heavy than the latter.) The lead character of Dennis, played by Timothy Olyphant and the character Kevin (played by Andrew Keegan) were the most interesting, as they seemed the easiest to relate to. Other characters (and the relationship challenges they deal with) were interesting as well. Some of the humor and content are a bit cliché and the film is occasionally melodramatic. Overall, however, it is a feel good movie and I would recommend it to gay audiences.
