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

Kasdan fans are better off renting Body Heat.

Kasdan makes good use of all the actors involved, and each one hits the right note –– Dean, Davis and Lee are particularly good.
01/01/00
Not even the master mirthmaker in Kasdan can save Dean or Mumford from bouts of mediocrity.
01/01/00
This eccentric fairy tale with the feel of Our Town has a number of remarkable performances, chiefly those of Loren Dean.

Top CriticA frustrating, mundane piece of filmmaking that only serves to emphasize the spottiness of Kasdan's post-Body Heat output.
01/01/00
Mumford doesn't go very far or deep in detailing our impostor's road to redemption.

There was nothing fantastic about this fantasy film, not even the fantasy.
01/01/00
The great performance comes from Davis who – not surprisingly – takes an increasing amount of Mumford's attention.
01/01/00
Top CriticIt's hard to tell what drew Kasdan to imagine Mumford - the town and the man - since the flimsily whimsical, rambling result never declares its intentions.
01/01/00
An intellectually vacant and pointless excursion to a town that is almost frightening in its artificiality.
01/01/00
After watching Mumford, I not only felt a little better, I was downright happy.
01/01/00
Somewhere in the middle, when we hear Mumford's real history, we stop laughing and we never start up again.
