Profile of Mumford

The mood of Mumford is clever, feel good, and touching. The plot centers around doctors and patients, starting over, and hidden identities. It is a drama, comedy, and romance movie. Stylistically, Mumford is talky. In approach, it is realistic. It takes place, at least partly, in a small town. Mumford happens in the 1990s.

Summary of Mumford

Mumford (Dean) relocates to a small town named, ironically enough, Mumford. He sets up shop as a psychologist and begins meeting the various lonely, troubled souls in the community. Pretty soon he's the most popular psychologist in town, for no concrete reason, other than his approach is not like that of other psychologists. He takes the time to listen to his patients, and speaks to them sincerely, enabling them to discover for themselves what their problems are. A surprisingly gentle mood piece from Kasdan that rewards viewers who don't need a big payoff or melodramatic climax to make their moviegoing experience feel complete.

Critics Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle
So wonderfully odd, even spiritual, that audiences won't be able to do anything but smile.
Entertainment Weekly
Turns the tricks of psychology into duplicitous high play.

Users Reviews

Surprising, unique inspiring well written storyline! Such a wide variety of talented actors how can you go wrong with a cast as diverse as Martin Short, Ted Danson, Zooey Deschanel, Hope Davis? Jason Lee proves to be a surprisingly amazing comedic...
