Great Film overall

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Why does every gay movie have to turn into a p0rn0 midway through Seriously, can we not once have a PG-13 rated gay romance?Otherwise, the story is interesting in that it gives us a window into the gay Mormon issue. The conflict is well-played out. Some lines that the actors had to say were cheesy as hell, though; like, was this written by a teenager, or what? Ending was a bit cheesy too, but leaves a nice feel-good impression, so it's adequate at what it does.

Latter Days (2003) is a very sweet, touching and powerful love story. The actors portraying Christian and Aaron are so great and spot on with their performances, they really made me feel like they truly loved one another. This film really had great dialogue and a well written script, it might be a bit cliché at times, but it was still very sweet and heart felt. I love how this movie made me feel, this movie made me feel warm and just happy. There are some sex scenes with male nudity involved, but they aren't trashy or distasteful at all, they are loving and romantic and truly beautiful, and I'm glad they were there, because you could really see the love between the two characters. Lila in this movie was awesome too! I really loved her character, the film wouldn't have been the same without her. Also Joseph Gordon Levitt makes a short appearance in the movie, and I thought he did a good job, even though his character was a homophobe and a true bigot, he did a good job portraying that. This movie had good heated confrontations between the characters, and they were very impactful and powerful. There was so much great chemistry between characters as well, the bonds were very real and believable. I 100% recommend latter days, whether you ate gay or straight, I think you will enjoy it. You can find it on YouTube, and I saw that it's actually coming on LOGO tomorrow morning at 6 AM, I would urge you to tune in.

I'll start by saying I don't know how to review this film without hazarding a spoiler. I have an Aaron in my life, and I'm his gay buddy/lover. When Latter Days was first available, there wasn't a copyright problem and I made it a bookmark. When the copyright owner protested the film's use, and the copies were pulled, I lost my bookmark. I can no longer view my homage to my friend. His attempt at suicide wasn't unsuccessful and he is gone. I used to watch the film to shed a few tears for my friend. I'm aware that other viewers don't think the story accurate. I can attest that Latter Days is as right on as to the attitude of the Mormon Church as a story involving faithfulness in the face of adversity could possibly be. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to express my appreciation, for your making the film available to a gay man who needed the access for a long time after he lost his friend. RobtheElder

So I watched this movie because Netflix was like, "Hey, you liked Ponyo and Prince if Persia, you'll like Latter Days!"To be honest, I have no idea how Netflix figures out their suggestions, but this one was too weird for me, so I watched it, and seriously, there were moments of "aww," or laughter (one point, don't judge me, where I couldn't stop laughing after the one guy's mother hit him and then he started crying, but in between the touching and the comical, it was suck, suck, suck, suck, suck. I was irritated, at time, at the fact that I was actually watching the whole thing... Just needed to see how it ended, and the ending, yeah, pretty sucky...Sorry, had potential, but really kinda missed the mark.
