Welcome to Mooseport movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: To say that Welcome to Mooseport plays like a lost episode of TV's Northern Exposure does not do justice to that show. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: A comedy so wan and spiritless that even the ringing cell phones in the theater offer more entertainment. Read more
Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune: Welcome to Mooseport isn't a belly-laugh farce. It's more along the lines of a My Cousin Vinny, where you just enjoy almost everybody who crosses the screen. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: Welcome to Mooseport is the movie equivalent of a bowl of unadorned oatmeal: It's bland, a bit lumpy and, though it'll tide you over until something better comes along, you won't look back fondly on the experience. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: [Mooseport is] like the pound cake of movies -- nice and safe and sweet, but not really worth recommending. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Unless you're a real Romano fan, take the bypass. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: A disappointingly limp small-town farce played several shades too broadly by a cast that has done better work elsewhere. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: A most welcome treat. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: As directed by Donald Petrie, the movie and its characters are amiable and cute when they need to be offbeat and zonked. Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: A soothing buddy movie. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: When did feature-length comedies like this one come to settle for indistinguishably 'colorful' characters as a substitute for anything really funny or sharp to say about American daily life? Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Instead of a madcap farce, the movie grinds along into a series of laboured comic bits. Read more
Ed Bark, Dallas Morning News: At best it's innocuous. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: The picture is a series of missed opportunities. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: Mild as milk and, at times, slower than August traffic heading to L.L. Bean. Good cast, though. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: A nice, if not consistently funny, place to visit. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: Little more than a feature-length screen test for TV icon Ray Romano. Read more
Dave Kehr, New York Times: Donald Petrie's film is a terminally mild attempt to revive the populist political comedy as pioneered by Frank Capra in the 1930's. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: What a boring place Mooseport turns out to be. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: There's not a whole lot to like about Welcome to Mooseport, and, considering how lively real politics can be these days, you're likely to get more entertainment from watching two hours of CSPAN. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: [Hackman and Romano] work well together here, and Tierney does a heroic job of playing a character who doesn't know how the story will end, when everybody else, in the cast and in the audience, has an excellent idea. Read more
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle: Petrie made Grumpy Old Men, which appealed to the same older audience Welcome to Mooseport apparently is going after ... Both films suffer from a flatness and uneven pacing that make them slow going. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Welcome to Mooseport can't decide if it wants to be a political farce or a romantic comedy. It's a bit of both, but not enough of either. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: Donald Petrie's movie is so over-laundered that it has completely sacrificed shape for comfort. Read more
J. Hoberman, Village Voice: Means to satirize the TV-fueled carnivalesque nature of American electoral politics but only demonstrates the TV-fueled debasement of American commercial comedy. Read more
