Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Flat and Incomplete
Could have been a good movie. The first half is good, but the last half hour was strained, incomplete, and unexplainable
Rating:  - A great movie
I really enjoyed this movie despite its relatively low production quality and standard definition filming. The story is the star of this movie as we see the main character recognize his sexuality and love for another boy and his terrible conflict with his religion and family. It is perhaps the most powerful expression of this age-old conflict I have seen in a movie for a long time. It is definiately to be recommended to anyone who is in the process of this self-discovery, or to remind the rest of us how it was for us once too.

......"Finding The One Who Helps You Find Yourself."
((Here is my approach to obtaining/viewing/reviewing Gay tales in film form. Simply, it's seeking the holy grail of that genre, or looking for the "Addictive Film"---that movie one returns to time and again). Selection/purchase is based mainly on finding new releases by favorite directors/screenwriters and your comments/reviews at various on-line sites. Sometimes I feel correctly steered by you (the "Keepers" filling my DVD shelves), other times mislead, occasionally badly (the "Throwaways"----and I do toss 'em). Rarely, I come across the "Addictive," those watchable every couple of months or so (see below starred *** area for a list......and some of the "near-Addictive" as well). For some movies, I'll share a review with you, as follows below. Thanks for sticking with me so far.))
So, Folks......first off, shall we play a little game of "second-guess the Director?" Uh.....no, no.....wait---just kidding. After all, doin' the "Monday morning Quarterbacxxxx, I mean, Director-ing" thing would be taking too easy a way out.......especially if we're honest and admit that David Lewis did do right the biggest, most "important-est" thing. What is that, you may ask? Well, in the case of a gay romance, be it a comedy or otherwise, doing the right thing is finding and bringing together two male leads who've got "C-H-E-M-I-S-T-R-Y" with one another. And in the case of Sean Hoagland and Owen Alabado, it's undeniably there ... Read More
Rating:  - "Latter Days" for mainstream Christians...almost
This is a good movie for the conservative religious to see, in hopes that it might show them the harm their narrow-minded views have, and how unchristian they are, but it's only mediocre at that.
The best part of it is that you really feel the love Clifford feels for Brady, and you really do see how conflicted Brady is over his feelings. Having grown up in rural america, though fortunately not in such a strongly religious household, the fear and denial are *very* real, and the two actors did a good job in their roles.
I also commend the movie for not artificially contriving to hide body parts. When the clothes come off, they come off just like they would for real, so what if you can see what you know is there?
Lastly, though like all the messages this was relatively understated, they did hint at the fact that Brady was basically going through "coming out" as religious, though it would have been pretty obvious. Denial goes both ways, and it's a good thing for those of us non-religious sorts to be reminded to treat those we disagree with with the same respect we expect and deserve.
The main problems with the movie are:
1. It's too painful to watch the train wreck for someone who cares about the couple, and I don't think the message is strong enough to hit home the people who need it.
2. The long drawn out "time passing" scenes feel like they're there to make the movie full length without having to write real dialogue. The ... Read More
Rating:  - AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE REALLY THAT STUPED?
I did not like this film main reason is because did not felt any " TRUTH" in it , is that idiotic country people really give that much importance to religion? UAU and waht is that " CAMP" that he talks about in the end of the movie ? i place to TEACH gay people to be heterossexual? in civilized countries like mine this tipe of facility is AGAINTS the low because of PREJUDICE against sexual orientation. Every time o see a movie and see thinks like " gay correction camps" os separete school for grils who are pregnant, i THANK GOD on my knees i was not bourn in that pityfull country
