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]

There are cute moments and some very nice performances. All that's missing is a movie.

Let's see, no stars, little action, but a fine little script. Hey, don't they call that a 'play?'

Simply a nice film. But that's not as much of a compliment as it sounds.

Director Lawrence Kasdan's Mumford blends likable characters with a humorous, gentle look at small town life.

It turns the tricks of psychology into duplicitous high play.

It's witty, entertaining, often funny as hell and even, at times, surprisingly wise about the human condition.

Kasdan's new comedy, Mumford, is so wonderfully odd, even spiritual, that audiences won't be able to do anything but smile.

Mumford is so carefully visualized in Lawrence Kasdan's new film that you'd sort of like to live there.

It's a cozy film with fun characters, fine dialogue and an inspiringly warm and fuzzy theme.
