There's a Mormon indie flick, "The RM," which treats this. It's light, cornball stuff, but it works all the cliches in. Yes, Tyson, he has the stock fantasies: the family and gathered friends at the gate with balloons, his one-true-love still waiting for him...all that.
There's nobody to meet him. He takes a cab home, which is locked. Putting a ladder up to his bedroom window he finds...a stranger--the house was sold! When he does connect with his family, he learns that "his room" is now occupied by a Samoan boarder. And yes, things get worse. Now, about his girlfriend...
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0341540/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_2I got it on Netflix a few years ago, but it doesn't seem to be available now. If you can get a copy, it's a fun way to waste 90 minutes which you'll never get back.
