Mumford (1999)
More to this than meets the eye.
I've been meaning to see this film for a while now. I came across it here on IMDB, cross-referencing an actor. I was intrigued by some of the reviews, and surprised I'd never seen it on TV in 20 odd years since its release.
I can understand the negative reviews to a certain extent, it doesn't really fall into any particular category, not a Rom-com, not quite a drama or a comedy. It has some bad language and adult themes, so it's not a family film.
The film doesn't really have that Hollywood wow factor, which is why I think it (probably) fell down at the box office, and effected how often it was shown on TV, but there is a warm feeling from it, there are parts that made me laugh and parts that made me sad, and some parts too subtle for me to pick up on. There's more to this than can be gotten from one viewing I think. I may watch it again to see what shakes out.
