The R.M.
The RM is a 2003 comedy film about the experiences of an LDS returned missionary. "RM" is an LDS acronym for "return missionary." It is one of the new line of LDS comedy films by Kurt Hale and John E. Moyer.
Overview
The RM is very LDS-centric and generally meant to appeal to an LDS audience. Most non-LDS viewers would not understand the numerous references and satires of the LDS—and Utah—sub-culture.
Plot
Jared Phelps returns home from his mission in Wyoming to find a world very different from the one he left two years ago.
No one meets him at the airport, his girlfriend dumps him, his parents have moved and he can't seem to land a stable job or get into his desired university. The audience is treated to a heavy dose of the Utah-Mormon subculture as Jared struggles to get back on his feet and adapt to post-mission life.
