* GoodTimesMontage: We see all of Mumford's patients (and friends like Lily) being happy while Bob Seger's "Till it Shines" plays.
* HereWeGoAgain: As Mumford is being driven to prison, the police officer starts talking about his problems with his wife, and it looks like even though Mumford's lost his license, he's still going to continue being a shrink of sorts.
* LastSecondWordSwap: Lily protests to Mumford [[HeIsNotMyBoyfriend there's nothing between her and Skip]], saying, "I'm old enough to be his...older sister."



* NoNameGiven: We never find out Mumford's real name.
* PetTheDog: Even though Lionel is the one who convinces Dr. Sheeler to investigate Mumford, he's the one who's defending Mumford at his trial, and who assures Mumford he can get his sentence reduced.

Dr. Mumford (Creator/LorenDean) is a [[TheShrink psychologist]] who lives in the small town of [[NamesTheSame Mumford]]. He has a thriving practice with a number of patients, including a woman addicted to shopping ([[Series/BattlestarGalactica2003 Mary McDonnell]]), a high school girl with an eating disorder (Creator/ZooeyDeschanel), a drug store owner with a perverse fantasy life (Creator/PruittTaylorVince), and a billionaire software developer who simply wants Mumford to be friends with him (Creator/JasonLee). One day, Dr. Mumford gets a visit from Sofie Crisp (Creator/HopeDavis), a woman who's suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. He and Sofie soon develop feelings for one another, which of course, is against all professional ethics for psychologists. Except that Dr. Mumford isn't really a psychologist...

Added DiffLines:

* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: Mumford doesn't confess to Skip, and the viewer, that's he's not a real psychologist until about halfway through the movie, but that confession is a major part of the trailer.
