Synopsis: 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... 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. [More]

Kasdan fans are better off renting Body Heat.

This pleasant romantic fantasy is slight enough to go straight to cable -- to network, even.

Kasdan makes good use of all the actors involved, and each one hits the right note –– Dean, Davis and Lee are particularly good.

Not even the master mirthmaker in Kasdan can save Dean or Mumford from bouts of mediocrity.

This eccentric fairy tale with the feel of Our Town has a number of remarkable performances, chiefly those of Loren Dean.

A frustrating, mundane piece of filmmaking that only serves to emphasize the spottiness of Kasdan's post-Body Heat output.

Mumford doesn't go very far or deep in detailing our impostor's road to redemption.

Simple and sweet, but unforgivably trite.
