Sally Kirkland, Irene Bedard, Jim J. Bullock, Janice Markham, and Mel England in Ron and Laura Take Back America (2014)
A mockumentary satire about American politics, religion and  Hollywood! Ron and Laura join the movement to take their country back from Muslims, Illegals and Gays! But, when they run into their son Brian with a mysterious new friend at a demonstration, the culture wars land right in their own backyard...  Winner of 16 awards and nominations on the festival circuit, including wins for BEST FEATURE, BEST OF FESTIVAL, BEST ACTING ENSEMBLE, Huffington Post called Ron and Laura "the year's funniest political mockumentary" and Poz Magazine called the "best candidate to deliver funny-cause-it's-true political hilarity!"

    A political statement that entertains BOTH sides!
    This "mockumentary" addresses so many issues facing America, especially during this election season. The core topic may be old ("Obamacare"), but the underlying events and outcomes are very much current.

    What I especially liked about this movie, is the fact that even though it's a politically motivated story, EVERYONE in the theater loved Ron & Laura! Depending on which side of the political spectrum they were on, the laughs would come at different times, BUT there was continuous laughter, nonetheless!

    In a nutshell; Ron & Laura are an ultra-conservative couple who decide to produce their own reality show, subsequently coming to terms(?) with: homosexuality, xenophobia, illness and health-care (theirs & others), and gun control.

    "Ron & Laura" tackles these issues with a deft comedic touch, and makes the viewer (more) aware and thoughtful of said issues.

    I could easily see this/these characters in a TV series, which I'd watch!
