Critic Reviews for Latter Days

Renders its gay and religious characters so stereotypical that neither lifestyle appears attractive.
It's timely, not to mention refreshing, to see an affirmation of true love over hot sex, along with a reminder that the two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.
Although a good deal of what happens is predictable, the writer-director C. Jay Cox makes much of it pleasant.
Everyone in this movie has been ordered off the shelf from the Stock Characters Store, and none of them wandered in from real life.
Surprisingly dowdy-looking, shot more like a scruffy little naturalistic slice of alternative L.A. life than the star-crossed lover's daydream it mostly is.
Cox's screenplay, while occasionally lapsing into the sort of cliches endemic to so many gay-themed films, generally treats its unusual subject matter with dignity and complexity, and the characters are well-drawn and sympathetic.
Audience Reviews for Latter Days
I like it overall, but a lot of cheesy stereotypes. Acting is mediocre at best. Reminder how the less open-minded think. The higher rating comes simply from a couple scenes that still makes my heart melt and beat faster.

It's just a lukewarm film, a by-the-numbers romantic drama about people from utterly different worlds that happen to fall in love. I give props for the included "twist" and depictions of "homosexual reformation" facilities that we all KNOW exist and are utilized by the Mormon church. Some very nice bits of secondary character acting by Erik Palladino as the AIDS patient and Joseph Gordon Levitt as an overly everything-that-isn't-Mormon-phobic missionary. "Hot Gay Sex" commentary: this reluctantly makes the list. makes the list because there is certainly gay sex happening here. Reluctant because, as my gay boyfriend said, "we don't know who topped/bottomed". Plenty of shapely buttocks, though.

My sister bought this on DVD so I decided to watch it with her without knowing much about it besides it's gay subject matter. I'm glad I did because it turned out to be a poignant, insightful, and very original film with a wealth of strong performances and a tight script.

| Christian: | I'm not shallow, am I? |
| Traci: | Honey, you don't have to be deep. You just have to be...pretty. |
| Andrew: | No, no, let me just say, I dated this guy once, actor, cute, southern, came from this really religious family. Well his parents found out he was gay, and can you say drama. They send him to one of those Christian change ministries. |
| Traci: | Wow, did he change? |
| Andrew: | Did he? Miss Thang used to be a top. [Everyone laughs] |
| Julie: | Shut up! |
