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.

Critics Consensus

A melodramatic plot and character stereotypes turn the movie into a sitcom.

1/4
Renders its gay and religious characters so stereotypical that neither lifestyle appears attractive. Go to Full Review
Tom Long Detroit News Apr 2, 2004
C-
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

2.5/4
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

Instead of mockery, "Latter Days" is a vulnerable effort, rich with compassion and patience. Go to Full Review

Draco S Nov 26, 2018 Who cares about cliches? It's good. Watch it. Why? Because truth is stranger than... yadda yadda yadda.
Hermione R Nov 27, 2014 The good parts are scattered throughout this movie, but they are lost in the mess of the narative and the long scenes. It had a story to tell, not very convincing, but it was fun. Steve Sandvoss owned his scenes as the Elder. See more
Abraham S Aug 31, 2007 Bad acting - good intentions... Yes, I cried.
