Formulaic soap opera has the makings of camp but the heart of an after-school special.

Broken has little of any great substance to add to the old truism that L.A. eats its young (especially those who just got off the bus from Ohio) and then picks its teeth with their hopes and dreams.

[The] script is so uneven that the result is like watching four different, equally bad, movies.

...a fairly tedious and thoroughly familiar portrait of drug abuse.

Broken goes a bit heavy on the symbolism (naming the leads Hope and Will, for starters) and tries to stir up sympathy for characters who may not deserve it, but as cautionary tales go, it's worth a look.

this movie was ok. i rented it because heather grahmn was in it. and having billy from six feet under did not hurt. it is another one of those drugged out movies but it looks at it from a lot of point of views. It was ok. watchable for me.

an interesting movie that put a picture of a mind twisted of a waitress wannabe actress. the plot was hard to follow in the beginning, but after a while you get the grasp of it and hung up with it. I felt like the restaurant was different parts of the mind of the main character.

There's something missing here. There's no connection between Heather Graham and her character and, therefore, no reason to care. I feel no real sense of danger from Jeremy Sisto so there's a disconnect with the more compelling points of the plot, too. A lot of this movie almost comes together but, really, I needed more from almost everyone.
