Even if the film feels somewhat contrived, stick with it; you'll be rewarded by what it has to say.

The BIG sex scene starts poorly as the pair, alone at last due to a so-convenient snow storm, efficiently undress themselves as if preparing for a rugby match ...

Cox -- who experienced the Mormon view on gay life firsthand -- gets the sort of performances out of his characters that will help you overlook what is cliched about the story.
07/16/04
simple paint-by-the numbers gay themed film that strikes directly at Mormon dogma, but it has a certain charm due mainly to Sandvoss' Herculean efforts

Ramsey's heartbreak, stock taking and determination to see to it the relationship gets a second chance are as affecting as anything the genre has produced in recent memory.

Overall generalities about the main characters, a tendency to reveal them through monologue rather than behavior, and a lack of curiosity about the Mormon youth's core beliefs keep Latter Days from feeling genuinely personal or particularly substantive.

The screenplay is efficient to a fault, populated with stock characters.

Cox can be forgiven for getting a little preachy when he makes his point with such an open heart and loving spirit

Renders its gay and religious characters so stereotypical that neither lifestyle appears attractive.
04/02/04
It's a winning, heartfelt and conflicted piece where the conflicts often resolve themselves in surprising ways.
04/02/04
A coming-of-age, coming-out, romantic comedy, religious intolerance flick, and if that sounds a bit crowded, that's because it is.
