Plot Summary
From Academy Award®-nominated writer/director Lawrence Kasdan (Body Heat, The Big Chill) comes this endearing romantic comedy. Starring a first-rate ensemble cast -- including Ted Danson (Saving Private Ryan), Martin Short (Father of the Bride), Mary McDonnell (Independence Day), Jason Lee (Dogma), and Alfre Woodard (Down In The Delta) -- Mumford is sure to win your heart with its charm and wit. When a would-be psychologist, curiously named Dr. Mumford (Loren Dean, Enemy of the State), comes to the idyllic town of the same name and offers his talent for listening and a disarming frankness, the town's quirkiest citizens scramble for a seat on his couch. As he lightens hearts darkened by old secrets -- including those of the beautiful and troubled Sofie Crisp (Hope Davis, Arlington Road) -- no one realizes he's hiding a whopper of his own, or that he's fallen head over heels for one of his patients! Filled with personality disorders, surprises, offbeat alliances, and some hilarious fantasies, Mumford is just what the laugh doctor ordered.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: A likable semi-screwball comedy.
Fresh: It turns the tricks of psychology into duplicitous high play.
Rotten: Neither funny, heart-warming nor star-powered enough to motivate the public to turn out in very large numbers.
Rotten: Imperfect.
Customer Reviews
Smart and Funny
Mumford is not only very funny, it is also an incredibly smart and well written story. The lead character is extremely interesting and really makes the movie great. I haven't really seen him in anything else though. The supporting cast including Jason Lee and Martin Short is also great.
One of my favorites
This is one of my favorite movies. I'm not sure what it is but there's just something about it that makes all the characters interesting.
Absolutely terrific!
This movie was different than most generic films out there. It was very interesting and full of charm. I was completely drawn in by the lead character. Every single one of the supporting actors added color and interest. This is not a fast-paced "shoot 'em up" movie (which is why some may not have liked it)- but it is very compelling and intelligent! Absolutely worth the time!
