Amy Nicholson Boxoffice Magazine Formulaic soap opera has the makings of camp but the heart of an after-school special. May 5, 2010 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle 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. Rated: 2/5 Nov 12, 2007 Full Review Jessica Reaves Chicago Tribune [The] script is so uneven that the result is like watching four different, equally bad, movies. Rated: 1/4 Nov 12, 2007 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a fairly tedious and thoroughly familiar portrait of drug abuse. Rated: 2/4 Nov 17, 2007 Full Review Gary Goldstein Reel.com 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. Rated: 3/4 Oct 19, 2007 Full Review Mark Dujsik UR Chicago Magazine Says nothing new in a familiar way. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 11, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I like anything with Heather Graham... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member it will have you little dumb founded,and then you try to figure it out.and than finally it hits you .now i get it . Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member graham and stroup kiss and the fast ending was the only exciting part Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
