Aaron Davis (Steve Sandvoss), a young Mormon, arrives in Los Angeles with three fellow missionaries to evangelize. The group's promiscuous gay neighbor, Christian (Wes Ramsey), makes a bet he can seduce and sleep with one of them, and his flirtatious ways help Aaron realize he is actually gay. Returning home to small-town Idaho in shame, Aaron is sent to a faith-based center to be cured of his homosexuality -- while Christian, who's fallen in love with him, desperately tries to find him.

A coming-of-age, coming-out, romantic comedy, religious intolerance flick, and if that sounds a bit crowded, that's because it is. Go to Full Review Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer Apr 2, 2004

A fairly flat, predictable tale. Go to Full Review Amanda Jane Stern Film Inquiry Oct 20, 2020
It's not a bad movie, but it's also not great. If you're feeling nostalgic for early aughts movies like She's All That, then this is for you. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com Nov 12, 2017

Robert P @Superbad Sep 8, 2026 Latter Days = a 3.5 star movie! See more Aaron P @deckard1715 Aug 24, 2026 Loved this movie, it is nostalgic. Saw this movie when I wasn't out, enjoyed it than ans still enjoy it now. Some might say it's cheesy but it might be but still good. See more Gregg D. @RT54364145 Jun 3, 2026 One of the most predictable movies I've ever seen-- totally unrealistic. Thought the nude scenes were unnecessary and gratuitous. Sandvoss should have waited for a better--totally different--script to accept as his first movie to star in as the lead role. Just my opinion. See more Michael C @Coxmjc23 Apr 26, 2025 Latter Days is so ICONIC and still so amazing and so nostalgic and so hot and Wes Ramsey is so beautifully stunning and so are all the guys in this film!!!! See more Anthony N @RT17137816 Aug 17, 2024 Amazing film .. I know its farfetched however coming from being with a mormon background I can see how allot of the things that happens in the film could actually have happened in numerous people's life's.. i left the church because of my sexuality however i have respect for the faith but will not go back in as I am free to be myself now and if that makes me go to hell or outer darkness then so be it See more james p @RT97075249 Dec 22, 2022 I loved this film. I thought it well done, enjoyed the characters, plot and dialogue. See more Read all reviews
