Aaron Davis (Steve Sandvoss) and Christian Markelli (Wes Ramsey) are perhaps the two most opposite people in the world. Aaron is a passionate young Elder (a Mormon missionary) who wants to do his family and church proud. Christian is a shallow West Hollywood waiter/party boy who only looks forward to what man the next night will bring to him. After Aaron and three other Elders move into the apartment across from his, Christian's friends make a bet that he can't get one of them into the sack, so he instantly latches onto Aaron, suspecting there is more than meets the eye to him. There are two problems, though: Christian finds himself questioning his own identity as he falls in love with Aaron and the Mormon Church treats homosexuality as a sinful lifestyle. When Aaron's burgeoning sexuality is discovered, they will have to go through trials of regret, loss, perseverance, and forgiveness if they want to get to the thing that matters to them most: each other.

| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunCox -- 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. |

| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfInstead of mockery, "Latter Days" is a vulnerable effort, rich with compassion and patience. |
| Metro Weekly (Washington, DC)Randy Shulman[Writer/director C. Jay] Cox deftly explores the links between coincidence and destiny, fate and miracles, love and loss. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineEven if the film feels somewhat contrived, stick with it; you'll be rewarded by what it has to say. |
| The New York TimesDave KehrWorks in the end because of its commitment to its characters and a handful of fine performances. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasAt once romantic, earthy and socially critical, Latter Days is a dynamic film filled with humor and pathos. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanAlthough the rest of the story plays out with melodramatic predictability, 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. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanIn equal parts earnest and awkward, this romance between a Mormon missionary and an L.A. party boy falls significantly short of its lofty goals. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertOne of the sly pleasures of Latter Days is the sight of this gay-themed movie recycling so many conventions from straight romantic cinema, as if it's time to catch up. |
