Amy Nicholson Boxoffice Magazine 05/05/2010
Formulaic soap opera has the makings of camp but the heart of an after-school special. Go to Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle 11/12/2007
2/5
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. Go to Full Review Jessica Reaves Chicago Tribune 11/12/2007
1/4
[The] script is so uneven that the result is like watching four different, equally bad, movies. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 11/17/2007
2/4
...a fairly tedious and thoroughly familiar portrait of drug abuse. Go to Full Review Gary Goldstein Reel.com 10/19/2007
3/4
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

06/06/2014 I like anything with Heather Graham... See more 01/08/2012 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 . See more 12/27/2011 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. See more 04/28/2011 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. See more 02/13/2010 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. See more 01/05/2010 graham and stroup kiss and the fast ending was the only exciting part See more Read all reviews
