Jay Carr Boston Globe (Top Critic)

The performances are disarming and Mumford is the kind of comedy that grows on you if you give it a chance.

Imperfect.

Todd McCarthy Variety (Top Critic)

Neither funny, heart-warming nor star-powered enough to motivate the public to turn out in very large numbers.

... it ends up being little more than a mellow tour of quirky characters that are better as representatives of different personality types than actual characters we believe in.

Somewhere in the middle, when we hear Mumford's real history, we stop laughing and we never start up again.
