Movie Review

Grade: C It is hard to write a review about something as bland as Mumford. The fact is that this movie isn't bad but it is just so annoyingly ordinary that it is hard to like. The characters and the actors, from Mumford (Loren Dean) to Sofie (Hope Davis) are just so ordinary in appearance and language that it seems we could just be able to hop right into the movie and walk alongside them. The only problem is that ordinary usually doesn't cut it, especially when there is an audience to stimulate. Read the full movie review
