Latter Days

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 (HBO’s Big Love), Joseph
Gordon-Levitt ((500) Days of Summer) and international screen legend

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.
