Two men at an Ex-gay ministry fall in love.

At first, I thought this was going to be just another "gay movie" with the prerequisite soft-core porn "love scene," the melodramatic over-written monologues, the cheap cinematography, and the beautiful yet poorly trained actors that we have all come to expect from your run-of-the-mill gay film. I was expected something on par with the slightly entertaining but vastly over-praised film Latter Days, which in hindsight can only be referred as a guilty pleasure.
