It is set in a small town where a new psychologist (Loren Dean) gives offbeat advice to the neurotic residents. Both the psychologist and the town are named Mumford, a coincidence that eventually figures in the plot. The film co-stars Hope Davis, Jason Lee, Alfre Woodard, Mary McDonnell, Martin Short, David Paymer, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Ted Danson, and Zooey Deschanel in her film debut. PlotAs a relative newcomer to an Oregon town that bears his name, Dr. Mumford (Loren Dean) seems charming and skillful to his neighbors and patients. His unique, frank approach to psychotherapy soon attracts patients away from the two therapists (David Paymer and Jane Adams) already working in the area. Soon he is treating a variety of conditions, ranging from the obsession of one man (Pruitt Taylor Vince) to erotic novels to an unhappily married woman (Mary McDonnell) and her compulsive shopping. Mumford befriends a billionaire computer mogul (Jason Lee) and a cafe waitress (Alfre Woodard) and attempts to play matchmaker. He also begins to fall for a patient (Hope Davis) who suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome. Together with an attorney (Martin Short), a patient Mumford had rejected because of his narcissism, the rival therapists conspire to find skeletons in Mumford's closet, hoping to destroy his reputation. Meanwhile, Mumford's inherent likability causes his life to become intertwined with much of the rest of the town. Cast
The film also features future Dancing with the Stars alumna and winner Kelly Monaco in a small (nonspeaking) role. ReceptionMumford was met with mixed reviews. Many critics expressed a general approval, but questioned the unpleasant back story (which contrasted with the overall tone of the film). The film has a 56% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 77 reviews, with an average rating of 5.9/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Memorable moments are few and far between."[1] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 62 out of 100, based on 33 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[2]Roger Ebert gave a favourable review: "There are no earth-shaking payoffs here. No dramatic astonishments, vile betrayals or sexual surprises. Just the careful and loving creation of some characters it is mostly a pleasure to meet. And at its deepest level, profoundly down there below the surface, it is something more, I think: an expression of Kasdan's humanist longings, his wish that people would listen better and value one another more. It is the strangest thing, how this movie sneaks up and makes you feel a little better about yourself."[3] The film, based on a $28 million budget, was a commercial failure, earning only $4,555,459 in the US.[4] References1. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/mumford |title=Mumford (1999) |work=Rotten Tomatoes |publisher=Fandango Media |accessdate=April 13, 2018}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.metacritic.com/movie/mumford |title=Mumford Reviews |work=Metacritic |publisher=CBS Interactive |accessdate=April 13, 2018}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/mumford-1999|title=Mumford Movie Review & Film Summary (1999) {{!}} Roger Ebert|last=Ebert|first=Roger|website=www.rogerebert.com|language=en|access-date=2019-02-11}} 4. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=mumford.htm | title=Mumford (1999) – Box Office Mojo | publisher=Box Office Mojo | accessdate=February 1, 2010}} External links
