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

Rating: - Wonderful
This movie is so touching. It shows different sides and views of being gay. The actors were just amazing.
Rating: - Latter Days: bravo!
I mean, sure it's a touch campy, but only is a way that worked. Watched it a couple of times, and I have to say I like this film more and more. All the elements of a great flick - humour, drama, and even a couple of quotable moments.
Rating: - Latter Days
I give this film 5 stars because it is extremely touching. To be honest no movie has touched me the way this has and I have seen many (highly praised classic movies, indie films etc.).
IMHO, Steve Sandvoss is superb as the closeted gay Mormon missionary Elder Davis (Aaron Davis), who is attracted to the twenty-something gay party boy Christian (although he dislikes Christian's shallow lifestyle). Especially in the dramatic scenes (for example: the confrontation between Aaron and his mother, ... Read More
Rating: - It almost came close to home
Very good movie. I've been approached by missionnairies of the LDS. I refused to join because of the tithe and the fact that I would have to give up who I am, and I love coffee too much (would have to give that up too). As for the movie, the actors are very well directed and the storyline is awesome, loved the ending.
Rating: - Truly a bridge over troubled waters!
This film bowled me clean out. I haven't been moved so deeply by any film that I can remember. And I've watched it more times than any other - in spite of which it always remains fresh and vital. The actors, all of them, won my heart straight off - especially the two main ones. The theme of a committed believer and an out and out hedonist meeting, locking into, and ultimately healing one another, is a difficult one to tackle - but the success of the director has been phenomenal. The two boys 'convert' ... Read More
