Not as "good" as Singles Ward, which although amateurish, was able to weave a plot and make knowing audiences laugh at the parody. But The R.M. is pathetic. There's virtually no plot. The jokes are stale. The characters are even more of a cliche than in Singles Ward. It's very unrealistic as the RM's family manages to adopt a brother, close a house sale and move without ever telling the RM. Right. Like other "Mormon" films, characters fall in love in two minutes through sappy montages (they did that in Charlie, too). The acting is atrocious, most particularly some sad sack who plays the prosecutor late in the film. One more thing: The film is way too long. They should have trimmed it to about 70 minutes. I give it two stars because there are only two jokes in the film.
