Mumford

Comedy, Drama · 1999R

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.
