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 has a strong story/premise going for it in that is deals with one persons discovery his homosexuality as a sincere, and devoted member of the CLDS. There was a lot of great material to work with here. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is amongst the cast and yet almost all of the performances are extremely weak (except for the main character's mother played by Debra Jo Rupp). Everything was so predictably handled that the viewer knew what was going to happen several scenes in advance. All of this the result of a poor script and poor direction.

Good job boys! I love it when one of my garage sale DVD finds turns out to be a winner. This one is a keeper. Yes, it's melodramatic, sometimes preachy and often downright sappy. There's a side story about a waitress who wants to be a singer that is loosely tied in, and could have probably been left out.The way the screenplay is written you have to wonder if any of these conservative Mormons have ever enjoyed an original thought in their lives. Not sure that's fair given the Mormons I am acquainted with.The character of gay boy Christian starts out as a one dimensional cartoon and it's interesting to see him morph into a real human being. Sex scenes just go with the territory. I didn't find any of it objectionable. A couple are pretty funny. There's Mort the water sports trick. He is happy to orally gratify Christian's anus but balks at conversation as "too intimate." (If you are gay, you know the type.) There is some minor (very, very minor) frontal nudity in their love making scenes. (Clue-don't blink.) This is one of the few films that this seems to fit perfectly. Two actors cuddling naked and totally exposed is presented intimately. Not gratuitously. You are drawn into their room, not left standing peeping through the window like a voyeur getting your rocks off.I'll take a film like this any day over the ridiculous, salacious garbage HBO and Showtime (among others) are pumping out these days. No pun intended. It's entertaining and has a happy ending. And who doesn't like a happy ending?

So we met a very conservative Mormon guy called Aaron Davis and a wild party guy who is a waiter Christian. Aaron technically doesn't want to be found out by his parents that he is gay and Christian is so in love with him. Even though we know that both guys made but the best thing of this movie was they were talking and honestly showed compassion for each other! I wish all gay movies would consider this as its just so mind-blowing! However what put me off with the film was that the next day, Aaron just left Christian without saying goodbye and went back to his parents like he did say that he doesn't want to be a member anymore! Then as Christian was trying to ring Aaron and the mother picked it up, she said ' I lost my son because of you'. I thought is she saying Aaron died from cut wounds. This was not the case at all, they put him in a asylum and we only found out near the end like! Excellent movie but can be confusing at times!
