Mumford (1999)
This is a stupid movie
This, like Hope Springs (the one with Colin Firth) came bundled in a pack with Green Card. Hope Springs was a stupid movie and so is this one. It is a waste of time to watch. The main character, Mumford, has moved to Mumford and is a psychiatrist. People are coming to him with their problems. Come to find out...he's not a psychiatrist. He is a former IRS employee who had a drug problem. The main character is bland and you cannot figure out why his patients are not really upset with him when they find out he is lying. Even his girlfriend just kind of goes "well...ok." Also, you find out the backstory pretty early on when he tells it to one of his patients/friends who happens to be very rich and is building robotic sex girls. It's just ridiculous.
Hope Springs (2003)
Not worth the time
This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It came as part of a 3 pack of movies and it had Colin Firth in it so I thought I would give it a try. It was ridiculous....a total waste of film.
Colin is an English artist and has come to America because his ex-fiancé says she has run off with someone else. Apparently, he is invited to the wedding or something but he never goes there.
He immediately meets Heather Graham's character and on the first "date" she gets drunk and they have sex....so they are having sex....there's not much else to their relationship....and Minnie Driver (the ex-fiancé) shows up and says that she was just kidding about getting married to someone else...she just wanted Colin to get jealous and finally marry her. Apparently they have been together for years. So Minnie Driver's character is supposed to be this total bitch which makes you wonder why she and Colin were together in the first place.
The main characters are shallow. They are not very likable. Colin has strung Minnie's character along for years. He sleeps with Heather Graham and they eventually become engaged but you really don't see much chemistry between them. Minnie's character stays around and bugs the couple even after it obvious that she and Colin have nothing left....kind of pathetic. The story is boring. The best character is the mayor. The hotel owners are also more interesting than the main characters.
