Lawrence Kasdan wrote and directed this comedy about a young psychologist named Mumford (
Loren Dean), who arrives in a small town and sets up a practice. Mumford's style is short on analytic mumbo-jumbo and long on practical advice, and he soon finds that he has a long list of satisfied clients in his new home town, including many of the city's most prominent citizens. Mumford's advice also helps love bloom among the city's single residents. However, the city already had a psychologist, Ernest Delbanco (
David Paymer), who is quickly losing business to Mumford. So Ernest starts asking questions: who is this Mumford, and just what are his qualifications?
Mumford's supporting cast includes
Ted Danson,
Martin Short,
Alfre Woodard,
Hope Davis,
Jason Lee, and
Pruitt Taylor Vince.
