The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy (2000)
Director: Greg Berlanti
Writer: Greg Berlanti
Stars: Timothy Olyphant, Dean Cain and Zach Braff
Summary: In the palm-shaded oasis of West Hollywood, we meet Dennis, a promising photographer. As he prepares to celebrate his twenty-eighth birthday, he laments, ‘ I can’t decide if my friends are the best or worst thing that ever happened to me.’ The gang includes Benji, the punkish innocent with a penchant for gym bodies; Howie, the psychology grad student who thinks too much and lives too little; Cole, the charismatic actor who accidentally keeps stealing everybody’s guy; Patrick, the cynical quipster, and Taylor, resident drama queen, who, until recently, prided himself on his long-term relationship. Providing sage advice and steady work is Jack, the beloved patriarch whose restaurant is a haven for them all.

We’re so going to be talking about this on COL Movies eventually.  I’m almost surprised we haven’t yet.  In any case, this has always been a favorite gay movie of mine.  And not because Dean Cain plays a hot gay man.  That’s just a bonus.  The casting was perfect, the acting was stupendous. The “gayness” of the men were completely authentic.  Not too flamey but not too butch.  I don’t think this completely represents the gay community but it is a comedy so . . . .  Total recommendation and keep watching COL Movies for us to review it.
