August 11, 2010I 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.

August 27, 2009It'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 chu... read more

September 28, 2008My 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. -
May 7, 2008Had potential, but (thanks to reenforcing horrible stereo types) it ended up being just another gay themed movie.

July 3, 2011fb20312798I liked that the two central characters do have actual fears and concerns about their awkward situation early on in the film that materialize in a believable way, but it doesn't examine those issues in the depth that they could have. Instead we are stuck with a rather bland story... read more

April 14, 2012fb100000185301014I think the movie overall has a superb script (not the plot however) but the acting was so terrifying. Can't say there're any new elements in the film of this genre but it provided a good soundtrack and an important message.

December 20, 2008It was lame, but enjoyable. The openly gay dude was really annoying (and ugly) and just bothered me, but Steve Sandvoss was good. It was alright.

August 29, 2008It's not groundbreaking in it's plot but it offers more than the basic gay movie formula.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
It's a winning, heartfelt and conflicted piece where the conflicts often resolve themselves in surprising ways. Full Review

Tom Long, Detroit News
A coming-of-age, coming-out, romantic comedy, religious intolerance flick, and if that sounds a bit crowded, that's because it is.

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
A fairly flat, predictable tale.
March 12, 2004
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
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. Full Review

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Such a well-meaning but unambitious work that it's tempting to take it seriously even as you dismiss it. Full Review

Charles Ealy, Dallas Morning News
Despite the inherent clichés, Latter Days manages to rise above its formulaic plot, mainly because of the assured performance by Mr. Sandvoss. Full Review

Stanley Kauffmann, New Republic
Although a good deal of what happens is predictable, the writer-director C. Jay Cox makes much of it pleasant.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Everyone in this movie has been ordered off the shelf from the Stock Characters Store, and none of them wandered in from real life. Full Review

Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
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. Full Review
