Completely free of the darkness and doom one associates with some gay movies ("Kiss of the Spider Woman", for example), "The Broken Hearts Club" - though never steering clear of the insecurities of its characters - is primarily upbeat, revolving around the intricacies of friendship and romance rather than sex.
Dennis (Timothy Olyphant) is about to turn 28 and is suddenly spurred by the urgency to find substance in his life, especially a real relationship. He is, in short, exhausted by superficiality, fed up with being picked-up for his looks alone. As his group of friends fret, bitch, enthuse, and crack some pretty good jokes, what is conveyed with a great deal of punch and pith by writer-director Greg Berlanti is the sheer energy of close friendship. Friendship is viewed as an essential boost for each and every chum (particularly when it is a substitute for family), but also as a prison from which each fellow needs to escape so as to forge his own identity. Furthermore, finding an identity beyond sexuality is also discussed with some force. Whether Dennis is squashing one of the others with a sassy line or twitching over his future, all those ideas shine through, even through the incessant chat which does become a bit tiresome.
The director's only real mistake is to reach a plateau early on and stay there (even though there is plenty of light and life in this stretch of the film) before finally letting events develop through poignancy.
