REVIEW
Match a hunky repressed Mormon missionary with an LA party boy, sensual sex and knowing humor, and the result is a film you won't soon forget. Christian (Wesley A. Ramsey) is a handsome, vapid young man who flits from guy to guy without much of a thought in his pretty little head. All his co-workers at Lila's restaurant expect only the latest bedroom report from him. So when his roommate Julie (Rebekah Jordan) discovers that the gorgeous group of young men who moved in next door are Mormon missionaries, they take a bet on whether Christian can bed one of them. Christian quickly moves in for the kill, identifying Elder Aaron Davis (Steve Sandvoss) as a repressed homo - and quite a sexy one at that. Their initial encounters have a charged sexual tension, but fear of the devil keeps Aaron’s libido at bay. When the two find themselves alone together they kiss passionately. Aaron’s Mormon missionary roommates interrupt, spot their brother as a homo and send him back in shame to his Idaho hometown and embarrassed parents.

We can't tell you what happens next because we’re not going to ruin this romantic drama for you, but C. Jay Cox is a Hollywood screenwriter with all that entails. His work on Sweet Home Alabama which included a great gay character, brought kudos, but this is clearly his project of love. The incredibly handsome and charismatic Sandvoss, in his debut film, gives us fierce non-verbal emotion that few actors can match - watch this boy's career. All of the acting is first-rate, including Amber Benson as Christian’s co-worker, Mary Kay Place as Aaron’s stern mother and Jacqueline Bisset as Christian’s restaurant boss who harbors her own secrets. It’s a grand gay screen romance with large-scale emotions that belongs in everyone's collection.

DVD Extras: The commentary with writer/director C. Jay Cox and stars Wes Ramsey and Steve Sandvoss is excellent. The straight, but very gay friendly, stars are respectful and intelligent. There are some insights into the "blue shorts" and C. Jay tells us which parts of the film are autobiographical. The making-of documentary is short, sweet and again filled with insights for fans. The photo gallery has a few photos not on the website. And finally C. Jay Cox's short film is funny and there's a joke for Latter Days addicts who know all the lines, and we know there are tons of you out there. We give the extras four stars!
