Review of Mumford

Mumford (1999)
7/10
7 on a scale of 10
2 October 1999
I don't quite know how to categorize this movie. It cannot possibly be called a comedy because I didn't laugh. One of the people I went with described it as amusing (without the laughs). It was simple. It was comfortable. We had a really great guy to root for. There was a little drama. But, mostly it was just an inoffensive way to kill 2 hours.

I noticed only 14% of the people gave it less than a 7 on IMBd. That is a very small number - usually reserved for great movies. But it was hard to find anything to complain about in the movie. Well, there was the notion that a reasonably attractive caucasian 3 billionaire would be chasing a middle aged black woman who ran a cafe. But, other than that....

I will never remember this movie after tonight, so that says a lot about it. But, if you want to be fairly confident that 4 people will leave the theater without at least one of them complaining about their wasting their time, Mumford is as good a bet as anything.

Of course, I failed to mention that the two strangers immediately to my right fell asleep half way through the picture and woke up somewhere during the credits.
