This lackluster production fails to generate much in the way of tension and less in the way of merriment.

The movie never takes its material far enough, it's never daring, it's never edgy, it's never satiric. It's just, well, it's just TV.

a pretty enjoyable film and if you’re looking for a distraction from all of the real world politics, at least the laughs in “Mooseport” are intentional.

The script is so weak, so illogical, so bereft of actual humour that it takes the considerable charm of the cast merely to prop it up.

This comedy about politics in a small community must have looked good on paper, with Gene Hackman and Ray Romano on board, but it just fizzles.

Clunkily earthbound as its characters and the situations plod forward while never getting anywhere.

Lord knows we need to laugh about politics, but when it comes to salving our Oval Office wounds, Welcome to Mooseport is like taking a baby aspirin for pneumonia...

Not even accidentally amusing, is dumber than a Lyndon Larouche campaign, and features a love story that can only be described as icky. Make that two love stories, and they're both icky.
