Review of Mumford

Mumford (1999)
10/10
So well written, so many fine actors
3 November 2018
Mumford is a 1999 movie, one of my favorites, which features a lead character named Mumford who has moved to a town named Mumford. The writing is superb with diverse, interesting story lines intertwined seamlessly and playing well off each other. There are action scenes of high drama, erotic scenes of high fantasy, many characters to love and empathize with and a couple to despise.

There's a big, frisky, happy dog. But the dog is not named Mumford, he's named Ainge (after a superb American athlete who was so good he was drafted by, and played in, both the National Basketball Association AND Major League Baseball, an almost unheard of feat. Even Michael Jordan failed at baseball when he switched from basketball.)

It's a great movie, very enjoyable, because it is so well written. Also it features more than 15, yes 15, actors who certainly qualify as "stars" in anybody's book. I think it must have been the intriguing story line and excellent writing which attracted so many fine actors. I recommend it most highly.
