Critic Reviews for Latter Days
All Critics (47) | Top Critics (19) | Fresh (21) | Rotten (26) | DVD (2)
Renders its gay and religious characters so stereotypical that neither lifestyle appears attractive.
It's a winning, heartfelt and conflicted piece where the conflicts often resolve themselves in surprising ways.
A coming-of-age, coming-out, romantic comedy, religious intolerance flick, and if that sounds a bit crowded, that's because it is.
A fairly flat, predictable tale.
It's more melodrama than drama or love story, and Cox, who wrote Sweet Home Alabama, seems to have never met a stereotype he didn't like.
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.
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.

Latter Days Quotes
| 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! |
