Mumford -- Quirky tale of a bogus psychologist (Loren Dean) whose talent for listening actually spurs his smalltown patients to have insights into their own problems while he ethically struggles not to become romantically involved with an especially vulnerable patient (Hope Davis). Writer-director Lawrence Kasdan's gentle ensemble comedy is sweet but slight in exploring a well-meaning quack who eventually comes to terms with his own shortcomings in a responsible way. Depiction of sexual fantasies with nudity, a character's prior drug addiction, some rough language and minimal profanity. (A-III) (R) ( 1999 )

These movies have been evaluated for artistic merit and moral suitability by the media reviewing division of Catholic News Service. The reviews include the CNS rating, the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and a brief synopsis of the movie.

The classifications are as follows:

A-I -- general patronage;
A-II -- adults and adolescents;
A-III -- adults;
L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
O -- morally offensive.

Note: Some movies previously were designated A-IV. Older films with this classification should be regarded as classified L.
