The movie is a high concept premise that goes absolutely nowhere: Its all concept and no execution.

Donald Petries film is a terminally mild attempt to revive the populist political comedy as pioneered by Frank Capra in the 1930s.

Proof that nice comedies about politics just dont work, especially during an election year.

Welcome to Mooseport has no bite, no edge, and no discernable drive when it comes to making with the yuks.

If ever a film was in need of an order of Levitra, it was Welcome To Mooseport, ranking amongst the limpest political satires Ive ever seen

Like Robert De Niro, hes turned to comedies in recent years, but these screen masters take being funny seriously.

This one isnt very funny, but its a nice way to pass 111 minutes nonetheless.

The situations are dumb, the characters asinine, and every gag line flops with a sickening splat.

Port Perry, Ontario, becomes Sitcom City, where the characters actually hesitate after each joke to allow the audience to laugh.

It has trouble in achieving liftoff. But, except for Romano, the cast is so naturally funny that its a hard movie to resist.

The problems with Mooseport are obvious: Too many subsidiary characters with not enough funny things to say and, in Romano, a lead actor who just isnt ..

What we get instead is about a half dozen mildly amusing jokes (the best ones involving Secret Service agents) and an ocean liners worth of tedium.

Welcome to Mooseport cant decide if it wants to be a political farce or a romantic comedy. Its a bit of both, but not enough of either.

Instead of letting Romano face big league pitching (which I think he can handle), the filmmakers reduce the rest of the cast to playing softball.

Welcome To Mooseport, which resonates with a little light Frank Capra and a touch of Norman Rockwell Americana, is just good old fashioned fun.

To say that Welcome to Mooseport plays like a lost episode of TVs Northern Exposure does not do justice to that show.

The movie never takes its material far enough, its never daring, its never edgy, its never satiric. Its just, well, its just TV.

White House meets outhouse comedy isnt fit to serve, and Marcia Gay Harden and Maura Tierney outshine stars Gene Hackman and Ray Romano.

Offers a charming distraction from the current campaign season by sidestepping real issues and making light of the process.

The comedy quotient, waning from the start, becomes nonexistent whenever its placed in Romanos clumsy mitts.

A comedy so wan and spiritless that even the ringing cell phones in the theater offer more entertainment.

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.
