Lets revisit The Broken Hearts Club

The acting was atrocious on this, but I don't care. It's one of my all time favourite feel good gay movies and the cast was stellar. I'm surprised they got Timothy Olyphant for this or even Zach Braff. I guess if you ask either of them in an interview they would never mention it.

I liked it at the time. I haven’t seen it in years. This was my first introduction to Zach Braff.

Berlanti was a good writer. It’s a shame he didn’t take advantage of this more instead of dusting off old comic books and passing them off to someone to adapt for the rest of his career.

Zach Braff hadn’t landed Scrubs yet, R1. He was an out of work actor who was crashing on Berlanti’s sofa.

He seems like the type who would go out of his way to drop that he was in one of the first mainstream gay-centered movies.

Hot guys, terrible acting. I always found it a tragedy that John Mahoney could peek his head out of the closet far enough to be in this movie but never acknowledge his male partner in real life.

Ehh, if I’m going to watch a terrible gay movie I’m going with The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green. More humor, more cute guys.

Olyphant did a great job. He made his character believable as a gay man without acting stereotypically. The movie has a lot of heart. I definitely recommend it.

Ugh, Dean Cain? No, thank you.

@R3, I have to ask:

Zach and Berlanti??

[quote] The acting was atrocious on this…and the cast was stellar

I’m sorry but…what?

While it’s disappointing how far Dean Cain fell into the right wing, I had the biggest crush on Andrew Keegan when this came out, and for that, I will always be grateful. I wanted to marry him when I was 13. Im sure he’s equally gross now

For R10, Andrew Keegan as a 40 something yo

I liked this movie a lot. I was young and in the closet and it showed me a world I knew little about. I dreamed of one day having a circle of gay friends. I had that kind of circle for a while and then we all moved on with our lives. Still friends but spread out around the world now. It was a good time.

This sounds terrible but now I have to see it.

I like you R9

[r11] thank you so much! Still dreamy

Dreadful movie -- a thousand times less interesting, nuanced and well-acted than the much-reviled THE BOYS IN THE BAND. Waste of a promising cast. (One would never know from this that Justin Theroux and Matt McGrath can be wonderful actors, but then again they're trapped in perhaps the worst-written parts/"relationship" of the whole picture.)

This was probably my first exposure to the loathsome Billy Porter; I'd have an axe to grind with it on that score alone.

Glad to glimpse the unbelievably hot Michael Bergin in a gay part, however brief. (A make-out scene with him and Dean Cain could have justified the entire misbegotten enterprise.)

I thought Olyphant and Mahoney did good work, and Christian Kane was smoking hot in his makeout scene with Zach Braff.

This was yet another project that Kerr "I don't have to kiss a guy or anything, do I?" Smith played gay in.

I mostly remember that I saw it on a first date, and the other guy was much more interested in going out again than I was.

Andrew Keegan looks really cute and sexy in R11's pic
