Product Description
A promiscuous gay party animal falls for a young mormon missionary leading to crisis cliche and catastrophe. Studio: Tla Releasing Release Date: 07/25/2006 Run time: 107 minutes Rating: Ur
Amazon.com
Christian (Wes Ramsey of the washboard abs) is a waiter, party boy, and first-class man magnet. Elder Aaron Davis (Steve Sandvoss of the goofy grin) is a straight-laced Mormon missionary. When he and three elders, including the uptight Ryder (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Mysterious Skin), move into Christian's Hollywood apartment complex, it's clear something's got to give. Christian tries to make his new neighbors feel welcome, but they're put off by his flamboyance--the short-shorts, the rainbow flag in his yard, etc. When Christian's trash-talking pals at Lila's restaurant, including the cynical Traci (Amber Benson, Buffy the Vampire Slayer), bet that he can't seduce one of these clean-cut young men, he takes them up on it and sets his sights on cute, soft-spoken Aaron. As a pretense, he asks to learn more about his Church, but where they really connect is over their love of old movies, everything from Psycho to Tommy. When Aaron accuses him of being shallow, however, Christian starts to wonder if the bet wasn't such a good idea--plus he's starting to fall for the guy. Turns out the closeted Aaron feels the same way about him, but when his roommates find out, he's shipped back to Pocatello where he faces excommunication. Written and directed by C. Jay Cox (Sweet Home Alabama), a former Mormon missionary, Latter Days features Mary Kay Place as Aaron's disapproving mother and Jacqueline Bisset as the acerbic, yet supportive Lila. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

 love story February 6, 2010
Denise Reidy (INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, US)
This is such a sweet romance. The actors are good at portraying these people, i could be convinced that they were really together. Not all sex that are in most of these kinds of films. I love all kinds of different people falling in love and not just the ones society thinks are acceptable.
Five stars February 3, 2010
John Doe (Fl)
One of the best gay movies of all times. For anyone who thought that brokeback mountain was an embarresment to gay cinema this will not be a repeat. A movie that shows the truth about a lot of religious hatred towards the GLBT community this movie shows how love can overcome all!
 It's all about Sandvoss January 30, 2010
Kurt M. Douglass
I can sum up in two words why I loved this movie: Steve Sandvoss. Not only is he breathtaking to look at, but he captures Aaron's character perfectly. I couldn't take my eyes off him the entire movie. He is startingly believable - I've known guys like him, both Mormon and not.
The film is not without it's flaws, which is why I didn't give it five stars. I, like other reviewers felt cheated at the end. Christian and Aaron's reunion is too brief, and Aaron never explains why he left Christian at the airport (Was he still ashamed? Was he going back to his family in hopes they would forgive him? Why didn't he at least leave a note? Did he leave the pocket watch intentionally?)
Regardless of these shortcomings, it is still a good film. Again, because of Sandvoss. I can't imagine it would have been any good without him. His presence outshines all the imperfections.
Love this movie. January 18, 2010
Michael Arameish (West Virginia)
It doesn't have a big budget but the acting by some and the story make it great.
Wes Ramsey is a phenomenal actor who lights up the screen with costar Steve Sandvoss. Both actors play off each other so well and not for one minute did I not believe that Wes Ramsey was not a simple, loving, midwestern Morman missionary. And Steve Sandvoss carried his part as well as the funloving, superficial, sexy, pretty boy and party boy. It's not all fun and games though, because there are some serious, dark moments as well. Other performances by Joseph Gordon-Levitt (3rd Rock from the Sun), Mary Kay Place (The Big Chill), and Jacqueline Bisset (The Deep), helped make this movie great. Enjoy!

Why are gay audiences so unbelievably forgiving? The plot had so many holes in it I lost count, the dialogue was as cliche as it gets, the characters were plastic and unrealistic. Convenience trumped thoughtfulness over and over in this film. The music seemed slapped together by an adolescent and the scene transitions were artless. Its lone saving grace? beautiful, sometimes naked protaganists. Well, that is not nearly enough for me. Why must gay and artful be so chronically separated in the world of film? I thought this film was just wretched.
