Mumford Reviews

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this movie since I always had a weak spot for Lawrence Kasdan, I thought I might as well check it out. On a side note, Lawrence Kasdan will make a return at the end of 2015 with Star Wars, 30 years after 'Return of the Jedi'. Hopefully, it will better than the disappointing prequels delivered by Georges Lucas. Anyway, only is he a succesfull writer (he was also responsible for 'Raiders of the Lost Ark') , Kasdan also managed to have a decent career as a director, at least, until the mid-90’s. Indeed, back then, he released the ambitious but eventually really underwhelming ‘Wyatt Earp’ and his directing career never really recovered from the blow. 4 years later, Kasdan would come up with this flick which was barely noticed when it was released. Eventually, I must admit that I find it rather difficult to judge this movie which was kind of weird in my opinion. Basically, the makers tried very hard to make it all sound deep and thoughtful but, at the end of the day, the whole thing was actually pretty cheesy. Still, in spite of its flaws, I thought it was a decent watch and I think it is worth a look.
