Latter Days is stunning and amazing...this is a mainstream quality movie...portrays the average gay man as a real person...not some flaming fairy.

This is a great movie. What started out as a fun and harmless bet turned into a great love story. I am not the one who is always rooting for love, but they had me on there cheer squad.

I didn't know what to expect, just went of of TLA's review, knew I needed something, things have
not been going well lately. I was not familiar with either Steve Sandvoss or Wes Ramsey, however, I did know Jacqueline Bisset (love her) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt(good comedy actor, great timing). Stay with this movie, even if you are feeling yourself pull away, the inquisition is enough to do it. Rewards at the end, moving, I haven't cried like this since Jay Leno came back to late night TV.
This is an Indie film, not a full big money Hollywood Movie, this one was made with Love and it shows. Watch the Special Features if you want some more "feel good". I was so proud of C. Jay Cox , not just for making this Movie, although was a lot, but for the way it was handled by all involved. All of the actors did such wonderful performances, as a person who has needed this kind of reassurance, if only in a film, makes things a little easier to do in everyday life. I will be following Steve and Wes's future as well as C. Jay's with interest, as I know they will be successful.

This is an awesome (for sake of a better word which I won't try to think of) movie. I am sure there are many such stories in real life that may never get published like this one was. I enjoyed it very much and would recommend it to anyone who is gay and to anyone who wants to know how gay love truly works and how true love can be gay.

Having watched a wide variety of independently produced films, I was not sure what to expect, some are good, and many leave a lot to be desired, but based on reviews, i decided to try this file. Well, plain and simple, I was so pleasantly surprised and captivated by the story and script, the directing, and acting in this little film, that I have since watched it three more times, something I almost never do.

The two primary actors, Wes Ramsey (Christian) and Steve Sandvoss (Aaron) each gave solid, believable performances for their roles, and the script was well written. The director did a solid job of tying each scene into the next as the unfolding romance and drama built...right to the end of the movie. I often watch these types of independent movies and get to the end and feel as though the acting and script left a lot to be desired, but not this film, the actors gave strong performances, the script was sound and flowed, and the video and audio quality was well done.

The story centers around a bet that Christian, a good looking, gay, shallow party boy had with his coworkers to seduce his neighbor, Aaron, an attractive closeted gay Mormon missionary. But soon, Christian finds that he has growing feelings for Aaron that he has never experienced for another person and the story begins to build. Aaron, confused and naive about his sexual feelings, struggles with his emotions as he feels himself both drawn to and turned off by Christian's carefree and shallow personality.

There are several well done scenes in the movie between Aaron and Christian that led Christian to begin reevaluating his carefree party boy lifestyle, which opens the door for Christian to grow both emotionally and as a person. These same scenes force Aaron, for the first time, to begin to deal with his darkest and most personal secret...the fact that he is gay.

I am not going to go into any more about the film because I don't want to give away all the tender action and emotion that run through this film nor spoil the ending.

Bottom line, this is simply one of the best independent films I have seen, and it is well worth watching. Having watched the film four times now, I think this film just gets better and better each time I watch it. The director knew what he wanted from this film, had a good script to follow, and Wes Ramsey and Steve Sandvoss seem to have a natural rapport which allows them to both bring their characters to life on-screen.
