For Ray Romano fans only.

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

This movie telegraphs its moves from the beginning, each of its laughs calculated as if an accounting firm had prepared them using a spreadsheet and an abacus.

It's a snooze on every level.

Devoid of wit and point.

Means to satirize the TV-fueled carnivalesque nature of American electoral politics but only demonstrates the TV-fueled debasement of American commercial comedy.

Feb 08, 2021Quickly built around the popularity of television's Ray Romano, this imagines what would happen if an internationally respected politician (Gene Hackman) would run for the mayorship of a small New England town. While the work telegraphs practically every move made in it, the cast plays along with the stereotypical characters and keeps the predictable bits entertaining and even a little fun. Worthy of a smile or two.Kevin M. W Super Reviewer

Dec 24, 2007This movie has a great and seemingly original premise, but I think that was all Gene Hackman found out about it before signing on... Ray Romano is his usual boring self, but Hackman is complemented by unsung TV vets Maura Tierney and a surprisingly good Fred Savage, as well as the usual Marcia Gay Harden. The script was okay, the plot was fine, but the filming was so formulaic that this one is really a chore to sit all the way through.Daniel P Super Reviewer

Aug 27, 2007No work of art but a pleasant silly comedy which is unfortunately damaged by a very dull Ray Romano in one of the leads. Sadly this seems to be the film Hackman chose to close out his career.jay n Super Reviewer
