Video Description
From C. Jay Cox, the writer of the hit comedy Sweet Home Alabama, comes a heartwarming and tender gay romantic drama that combines laughs, seduction and tears with plenty of romance. The handsome Aaron (Steve Sandvoss), a Mormon missionary, travels door-to-door in Los Angeles spreading the word of his religion. Christian (Wes Ramsey), a cute West Hollywood party boy, goes from man to man without much commitment. Opposites will soon attract when Aaron and Christian meet and sparks begin to fly. Featuring two star-making performances from Sandvoss and Ramsey, the film also features a terrific supporting cast including Mary Kay Place ("Further Tales of the City"), Joseph Gordon-Levitt ("Third Rock from the Sun") and international screen legend Jacqueline Bisset.

(See synopsis above)
This is a very touching and wonderful film about a promiscuous gay man Christian (Wes Ramsey) who makes a bet with his friends that he will sleep with one of the Mormon boys, Aaron, who has moved into his block. Yet the more Christian gets to know Aaron (played beautifully by Steve Sandvoss) the more he realises what a superficial and shallow life he leads, and begins to fall in love with the Mormon lad (who is suppressing his homosexual tendencies). Once the `church' finds out about Aaron's sexuality, he not only has to deal with his own issues with being gay but also the repercussions within his Mormon family and church. This film really surprised me; it's got a real heart to it, and deals with the subject matter in a sensitive and respectful way. I must admit to shedding some tears during the film and it's the kind of film you can watch over and over.

This surely has to be one of the all time best Gay films of the last decade. Beautifully written and touches on emotions that i think all of us can associate with. The story tells of Christian, a waiter and party & man animal accepting a bet to corrupt young Aaron, an out of town Mormon Missionary, and the resulting emotions, tears, humour & at times thought provoking moments that accompany the journey of these 2 - rather stunning - young men. The film did indeed end in a few tears, not only for the characters - but for me also. Touching, humourous and a film you will want to watch again and again basically sums it up! The only downside, has to be the crying scenes - where the acting coach obvioulsly wasn't present!! But see for yourselves!
The soundtrack is also worth a listen to!

This was a joy to watch. I loved this film. Though the story line is a little slow in places and you wish that Christian and Aaron would just get a room, it's well written and has a touching story line to it.
I don't mind admitting that I was touched with the sentiment at the end of the film when Aaron and Christian finally get back together. Nor do I mind saying that I truely felt sorry for Aaron when his parents put him in a correctional facility thinking that he could be "cured".
This was a film that I really enjoyed watching and would recommend watching to anyone.

Great film, must watch
I'll admit, I bought this film purely because Joseph Gordon-Levitt had a (small) role. However, I didn't expect to be as absorbed as I was with the story of Christian and Aaron. Read more

A pleasant change-of-heart film, unusually focussing on Mormons
It says a little about how little I think before buying a DVD that it was only some way into the DVD that I realised the meaning of the film title. Read more

An Honest Look at Homophobia within the Mormon Church.
I found this film was an honest attempt to re-create what has to be a 'true story' for more than a few young Mormon males. Read more

Did I say charming?
There's no doubt that Steve Sandvoss is the best thing about Latter Days and makes this film unmissable. Read more
