At once romantic, earthy and socially critical, Latter Days is a dynamic film filled with humor and pathos.

Sounds like the kind of movie that might appeal to, I dunno, maybe all seven openly gay Mormons and not many others.

Cox, who wrote Sweet Home Alabama, again trades heavily in stereotype and coincidence for his directing debut.

It's all very tidy and very tedious and, no matter how much it pretends to take on the world, Days settles for preaching to the choir.

This gay romantic melodrama draws on an unconscionable number of conventions, but works in the end because of its commitment to its characters and a handful of fine performances.

Though the film covers familiar queer-cinema ground, Latter Days' finely observed truths about the painful costs of being yourself make even the contrivance of its happy ending forgivable.

Pilots its culture-challenging raison d'être through an increasingly insufferable collection of gaysploitation conventions.

This sitcom setup is as bad as it sounds, and Cox never really surmounts it.

Despite the frequent obviousness of the script and direction ... the story attains an undeniable, if somewhat soap opera-like, power.
