Pros: Smart script, good direction, some wonderful performances. Cons: a bit long, a bit slow, a bit underwhelming in the end.
Lawrence Kasdan's Mumford is a really nice movie. But unfortunately, that's about all it is. This is not a movie that will stick with you for a long time, it's not a movie that will give you much to think about, morally or otherwise, once you pop...
Pros: Memorable characters, leisurely pacing, likable performances. Cons: Not LOL funny really. Could have used a Jim Carrey cameo, maybe.
For those who can enjoy a movie about some regular folks, enjoying actual conversations and somewhat realistic problems. Mumford is not to be mistaken for any movie that has a gun in it.
A common complaint with most movie lovers is that not...
Pros: Intelligent, character based comedy with plenty of charm. Paymer, Woodard, Davis, Mcdonnell excell. Cons: Blandly written lead character and performance.
Lawrence (Big Chill, Body Heat, Grand Canyon) Kasdan's Mumford is a casually paced, fairly intelligent light comedy. I knew exactly where it was going and how it was going to get there within ten minutes, yet the writing, acting (casting) was...
Pros: Amazingly strong cast, witty dialogue, endearing romance Cons: Dealing with therapy-- even from your OWN couch-- is never easy
GRADE: B+
Anyone who's endured the so-called cure-all strategies of therapy, or at least witnessed someone else go through the whole lay-on-a-couch-and-tell-me-your problems-in-an-hour deal, knows a privileged bond exists between patient and...
Pros: Strong wit. Casual style. Good character play. Acting. Cons: Almost drier than dry.
I missed this movie when it came out in the theaters. I wanted to see it. I saw previews for it, but somehow I just never got around to it. I almost missed it again when it came out on video. Once again, I had seen previews alerting me to the fact...
Pros: Amusing, entertaining, fun characters and some emotional involvement Cons: Predictable, biggest secret is told in the trailers
What could have been a very bland movie is handled with amusing maturity, and keeps us interested until the very end. This is not academy award material; in fact, most of the plot is revealed in the trailers so the “big surprise” really isn’t....
Pros: The Story Was Cute Cons: The Movie Is Rather Forgettable
Well, I figure I better review this movie before I forget it all together. I watched this movie with a couple of friends at a private screening before the movie was even available to the general public. I wasn't too excited about the movie to begin with...
Pros: Enjoyable fare, reminiscent of tv's Northern Exposure Cons: None for me
Have you ever heard of this movie, Mumford? I hadn't; my wife brought the video home from the library, describing it as a 'romantic-comedy' with Martin Short. Didn't sound real promising, I thought, maybe something along the lines of 'Father of the...
Pros: A couple of laughs Cons: Loren Dean has no star presence / No where near enough laughs / Just plain Sickeningly Nice
Lawrence Kandan, writer / director of such films as "Wyatt Earp" and "Grand Canyon," went low-budget for his latest film, "Mumford." While Kasdan boast many impressive writing credits to his name, including "Body...
Pros: synthetic gyrating pelvises Cons: lacking...something - a bit slow.
Intro:
After watching this film on my little laptop that makes my legs go numb from the heat (even when I put a blanket underneath it) one concept stuck in my head above all else: something along the lines of "every species of animal has...
I am studying Psychology, so I decided I'd rent a movie about a Psychologist. Not a surprise, right? Well, this movie has a couple of surprises in store, for sure!
First is the people that Dr. Mumford has to treat. They range in categories...
Pros: Jason Lee as a naive character, Quirky humor Cons: Slow at the start, the pacing in general is a bit strange
I am a avid Jason Lee fan and so one boring day at the office, I decided to go on IMBD(Internet Movie Database) to find out other films that Lee is featured in besides that of the Kevin Smith genre. Out of the various results Mumford was a name...
Pros: Light and harmless. Cons: No bite whatsoever, and consequently unmemorable.
Loren Dean is Mumford, the leading psychiatrist in the small town that shares his name. To paraphrase the press notes, while Mumford the town has its share of secrets, Mumford the shrink has the biggest of all. This secret, treated in the film as a...
A small town shrink has a past that no one in the town suspects. The shrink befriends the town's eccentric millionaire and falls in love with one of h...More at HotMovieSale.com
From four time Academy Award-winner writer/director Lawrence Kasdan comes Mumford, the story of a young psychologist named Mumford (Loren Dean), who h...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
