In West Hollywood, photographer Dennis (Timothy Olyphant) prepares to celebrate his twenty-eighth birthday and says, "I can't decide if my friends are the best or worst thing that ever happened to me." His group of gay friends lean on each other to work their way through life. They gather around Jack's Broken Hearts restaurant and lounge, with owner Jack (John Mahoney) acting as their father figure, adviser, and the coach for their inept Broken Hearts softball team. The group includes: Cole (Dean Cain), a handsome, charismatic actor who often ends up with other people's boyfriends; Benji (Zach Braff), the youngest member of the group who finds himself going through some bad times; Howie (Matt McGrath), a psychology student who is known for overthinking every situation; Patrick (Ben Weber), the cynic of the group; and Taylor (Billy Porter), who has long boasted about his long-term relationship, which has just come crashing to an end. When the group's newest member, 23 year-old Kevin (Andrew Keegan) attempts to fit in, their friendships are put to the test.
This sweet and charming film is also known as "8 x 10", "The Broken Hearts Club" (UK), and "The Broken Hearts League". The characters support each other, annoy each other, and guide each other through trials and tribulations with relationships, careers, getting older, and life in general. It's fun, touching, and honest, with a few sad moments. Christophe Beck composed the music, and Greg Berlanti wrote the screenplay and directed.
