Review of Latter Days

Latter Days (2003)
1/10
I was hoping for a great film...but it didn't deliver
25 January 2011
OK so one of the reasons I watched this film was because I noticed a lot of praise for the film and being billed as "the Best Gay Film" by many. However this film was terrible. The quality of the film was just astoundingly bad. The acting was awful by the entire cast...even Joseph Gordon-Levitt's acting couldn't give this movie a shred of dignity. At one point you could even see a crew member in a mirror holding a camera!! I will admit the plot of the movie was ambitious, however they failed to really nail it and give it the right treatment. Also the sex scenes were ambitious but the characters were far too uncomplicated and simple. The story was completely predictable with an even more predictable ending. Everyone was talking about how they cried when seeing this movie. It didn't work for me, which is surprising cause I cry to a lot of movies ha ha. They just didn't allow enough time for proper character development.

Please I recommend everyone to formulate their own opinions but if you want a quality film that will actually resound with you, watch "Beautiful Thing", "Get Real" or "Shelter"...I cried to "Beautiful Thing" ha ha
