Mumford
Starring Loren Dean
and Hope Davis
Directed by
Lawrence Kasdan
Mumford is a small town that
makes people feel lucky they live
in large cities.
With a great name behind it in
Lawrence Kasdan and very funny
trailers, Mumford is sure to attract
attention in its opening weekend.
It is too bad most of that attention
is undeserved.
Doc Mumford, (Loren Dean) is
a psychologist with something to
hide in a small town that appro
priately shares the doctor’s name.
With a list of odd patients,
Mumford (the person) struggles
with issues of his own and the va
riety of problems his patients pre
sent him with, especially those of
Sofie Crisp (Hope Davis).
Kasdan {The Big Chill, Grand
Canyon) returns in his first direc
torial film since French Kiss in
1995. Kasdan, the master of en
semble films, returns to familiar
ground with this comedy, directing
the film with a laissez-faire style
far removed from his past films.
Sadly, many of the movie’s
supporting actors and actresses
deliver more interesting perfor
mances than those of Dean and
Davis. Obviously hoping to create
new stars (as he did with Kevin
Costner and others), Kasdan cast
these two relative unknowns in
the lead roles.
Davis does a decent job of act
ing but lacks much of the on
screen presence found in other fe
male leads.
Dean, in his biggest role to
date, delivers a lackluster perfor
mance which could be intention
al or accidental.
If it was an intentionally low-key
performance, it should have been
made more clear to the audience.
Mumford is, at times, one of
the wittiest offbeat comedies to
come along in years, but slow
movement and a weak perfor
mance by the title character (the
person, not the town) take away
from the movie and prevent Kas
dan from recreating the magic of
movies past. (Grade: C + )

Blue Streak
Starring Martin Lawrence
and Luke Wilson
Directed by Les Mayfield

Sun:
— Matt McCormick
Martin Lawrence gets to strut
his stuff in Blue Streak, one of the
more anticipated movies of the
year. Regrettably, that is about all
Lawrence finds himself doing in
this shallow action-comedy.
Miles Logan (Lawrence) is a
jewel thief arrested by the police
mere minutes after hiding a pre
cious diamond in an air-condi
tioning duct at a construction site.
After a two-year prison sentence,
Logan is finally released and plans
to reclaim his diamond.
There is a slight problem, how
ever — the construction site is
now a Los Angeles police station.
Logan must impersonate a cop to
gain access to the building and
suddenly finds himself in a vari
ety of comedic situations.
Directed by Les Mayfield
{Flubber), this film basically is a
Martin Lawrence showcase.
Mayfield makes a high-gloss at
tempt to stay away from typical
action-comedy cliches.
