WELCOME TO MOOSEPORT(2004)
Not a terrible movie but it could have been a lot better
without the romantic angle! Ray and Gene both do great
but, again, coulda been better!! B-
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
Monroe 'Eagle' Cole (Gene Hackman) is a popular ex-President
in a nasty divorce with ex-wife Charlotte (Christine Baranski).
He is moving into his summer home in Mooseport, Maine with his
assistants Grace Sutherland (Marcia Gay Harden) and Bullard
(Fred Savage). Handy Harrison (Ray Romano) is the amiable local
hardware store owner and handyman. Sally Mannis (Maura Tierney)
is his 6-year girlfriend tired of waiting for him. She catches
the eye of the Eagle. The mayor dies suddenly and the town begs
the ex-President to run. He runs for mayor but so does Handy.
Word gets out in the press and he can't quit. Handy agrees to
bow out until Sally accepts a date with the Eagle. Campaign
manager Bert Langdon (Rip Torn) arrives and let the campaigning
begins.
This is a light comedy without many big laughs. Romano is
perfectly nice and Hackman is fine. They don't have the
needed wackiness to make this hilarious. It has its charm-like
qualities but it is unwilling to push harder. This has the
possibilities of a funnier movie. - SnoopyStyle
