While never a Mormon, I have 'wrestled with the angel' for most of my adult life, still trying to reconcile my gay being with my spiritual being. I lived many parts of the real-life version of this story, and it wasn't always pretty. For those who think it's hoaky, I say relax, its just a movie. I thought that Cox and company did a great job summing up such deep subject matter in such a short time. Maybe it is stereotypical, and maybe its not Academy Award material (I like few that are), but it really touched some hot buttons with me, and it moved me to tears in the end. This is one, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is soulsearching. Few movies exist that I have wanted to see more than once. But I know what I like, and I know when something tugs at my soul. I am no movie critic, and probably see fewer flicks than most people. I knew little about the film before I saw it on DVD, and really had few expectations. Latter Days touched me unexpectedly in many ways.
