Comment I know the BYU Daily Universe reviewed this film, because I remember reading the review. I am not sure I will be able to find that review, since we are talking about a film that came out over 18 years ago.

Keep The article is currently unsourced. But after going on to the Rotten Tomatoes page for the film, I've found a couple of reviews which could be used for sources and make the article notable. The reviews are:
https://www.ericdsnider.com/movies/the-rm/ and
https://www.deseret.com/2004/1/20/20090087/film-review-r-m-the Basically I think the article in its current state isnt good enough for Wikipedia but with the addition of a few citations and extra information gleaned from it, it can be made a worthy article.

Keep. Despite playing in no more than 30 theaters at once, this film grossed $1.1 million in the U.S. -- more than some more widely recognized films such as Owning Mahowny, All the Real Girls, Gerry, and Spun (all released in 2003). It also received reviews in mainstream media, even outside "Mormon country" (including
Variety and the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer). The book Religious Humor in Evangelical Christian and Mormon Culture devotes
half a page to explaining a single joke from the film. I would think this film qualifies as notable per
WP:NFILM. --
