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]

Reviews for Mumford
Kasdan makes good use of all the actors involved, and each one hits the right note –– Dean, Davis and Lee are particularly good.
This eccentric fairy tale with the feel of Our Town has a number of remarkable performances, chiefly those of Loren Dean.
The great performance comes from Davis who – not surprisingly – takes an increasing amount of Mumford's attention.
After watching Mumford, I not only felt a little better, I was downright happy.
An endearing portrait of a wounded healer who uses his own experiences of pain and compulsivness to help others.
After so many gross offenses committed in the name of comedy lately, here's a film whose humor rests on the audacious assumption that you, the moviegoer, have a brain.
The performances are disarming and Mumford is the kind of comedy that grows on you if you give it a chance.
A satisfying feel-good experience that challenges, the film affords us the opportunities to self-examine and laugh openly, and often simultaneously.
This film is smart, but also entertaining -- made to go with popcorn, a cola and, well, Prozac.
