The coastal California community of Rock Haven is the perfect place for cute eighteen-year-old Brady and his loving mother to begin a fresh start. Their mission: to spread the word of the Lord. But while roaming the beach one day, Brady meets Clifford, a young man who is the complete opposite of him: outgoing and athletic as well as incredibly handsome. Their initial encounter stirs up feelings of homo desire that Brady has been suppressing. Once Clifford makes it clear that their attraction is mutual, Brady's conflicting feelings of religious obligation and natural impulse go into overdrive, and the two young men must navigate their confusion, lust and beliefs in order to come to a mutual understanding.

As Good As It Gets

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I must be one of the easily impressed as described in an earlier review. I thought this film was excellently directed and written. Coming from a Christian and conservative background, I can relate with the tension of coming to terms with absolute truths about oneself. It is difficult to reconcile blind faith with the reality of actual experience. I envy those who can define and reach that balance. This film is a rare depiction of the inner conflict so many young and not so young individuals have to deal with daily. The strength of the character Brady shows those who feel alone and isolated that their feelings are valid. I wish I could have seen this film as an adolescent. To me, this film has the potential to comfort a confused teenager in a positive and potentially lifesaving way. For me Rock Haven hit home.

I was going to say this is soft porn because of the nudity but the story makes it just part of the story. Some of the lines were very interesting: When Clifford's Mom says "keep searching for those truths, those truths that give you peace". When Clifford says "I thought your faith was stronger than that" when he meets Brady before he leaves. I found it really positive when Brady says he can't change and his Mom says she can't either and then Brady forgives her.The acting is not very good but I think it was a very important film to make.I couldn't help thinking of Tyler Clementi.

You can read the first review on here for a mostly accurate account of the film. It's not great but not awful either. For anyone who is or has experienced the battle between homosexuality vs. religious beliefs, parts of it will personally hit you.I take issue with the first reviewer referring to the mother and/or church as homophobic. I don't think that's accurate. When the son tells her he can't change and she says that she can't either, all that she's saying is that she can't change her beliefs. She doesn't hate gay people just because it's wrong or gross or against nature. She has strong beliefs about what the Bible supposedly says about it. And to say that is easily changed is not fair or true. To me homophobia screams of people who are intolerant and often times, violent because of it. It's quite possible to be tolerant of homosexuals without changing your religious beliefs regarding their behavior.

If you want a religious gay film that's done right, see "Latter Days" and don't waste your time with this one [...]Thanks a ton, Joshua! Your comment on a bad movie referred me to a gem I might have missed otherwise.Rock Haven is a mere school-prom play, at best. A snippet of a piece that never began to be written. A huge waste of time indeed!By comparison (offensive as it is!), Latter Days is from the heart, full of gentle wisdom and compassion: "beautiful, funny and good," to quote a highlight phrase from the film itself. Not a perfect achievement, but three scenes in it (outside the hospital; in the snow, with the subsequent sex sequence; and the finale) are more than enough to give it its raison d'etre. A must-see!
