| This movie romantically proclaims that being gay is a thing, but only one thing. I have seen no other film that more delightfully challenges gay people to accept their sexuality and to move on without allowing homosexuality to be the defining quality of their lives. The Broken Hearts Club is fun, sad, and always poignant. It is not stereotypical. Rather, it reveals and utilizes stereotypes as a backdrop for the positive, but difficult, journey toward relationships that are defined neither by stereotypes, nor by one's sexuality. Among all movies, The Broken Hearts Club is a strong four star. Among gay genre films, it is a definite five. |
