What: In the movie Mumford, Loren Dean is Doc Mumford, living and practicing in the town of Mumford. He's a very effective and popular psychologist, but the townspeople's faith in his work is tested when his murky past is revealed. Lucky for us, some of the people who live in Mumford are played by Hope Davis, Jason Lee, Alfre Woodard, Mary McDonnell, Martin Short, Elisabeth Moss, Ted Danson, and Jane Adams, among others. This was also the first film for Zooey Deschanel. Writer/director Lawrence Kasdan keeps a tight rein on the quirk, which is saying a lot for a movie that includes a character named Skip Skipperton.
Comparable to: It's really quite Capra-esque.
Representative quote: "Everywhere I went people would talk to me. They'd tell me everything. Their problems, their innermost thoughts. Sometimes they'd pretend they needed advice, but most just wanted someone to listen."
You might not like it if: You do not like Frank Capra. Or his movies.
How to get it: Easy to rent, buy, or borrow.
