Welcome to Mooseport

Welcome to Mooseport seemed at first to be a successful comedy by its premise, but the result is a total disaster. It stunk. No wonder it was a flop. Do not even waste your time with this one. As much as... Full review

If your a fan of vulgarity and sexual content, which I am, then go see this flick. Superbad is super f'ing awesome...... Full review

Welcome to Mooseport does not deliver as many laughs as you would think but it does seem to have a heart big enough to keep you watching.... Full review

when you write a comedy, it must, at the very least, be funny. This seems to be something the writers of Welcome to Mooseport completely forgot. Seriously, I've seen episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond that were funnier than this movie. I'm... Full review

With Ray R. and Gene H you should expect the jokes to be at least as good as everyone loves Raymond. The show is better. The movie was not awful. I just wish I had waited for the video.... Full review

Seriously what the hell is this crap? I went into this movie thinking I would laugh my ass off for an hour and a half plus and was suprisingly displeased when I left the theatre. If you're like me you were... Full review

While watching Donald Petrie's "Welcome to Mooseport," one can draw some comparisons to "The Big Bounce," a movie released about 3 weeks ago. Both have "big name" male leads ("Mooseport" with Gene Hackman and Ray Romano and "Bounce" with Morgan Freeman... Full review

Hackman is my favorite actor, so I am a bit prejudice on his movies, but this one he must have taken for tip money because he just kind of walked his way through it. Ray Romano should stick to TV as... Full review

What I thought was going to be another pointless flick turned out to be surprisingly good movie. Gene Hackman plays a former president who runs for mayor, against plumber Ray Ramano. While you might think this is an unlikely situation, it... Full review

While the film is totally harmless and sporadically amusing, it's hardly substantial enough to talk about.....Romano is, in fact, ideal for the small TV screen in a small situation comedy.....She's a strong character in the film, probably....he's a friendly, amiable guy, to be sure.... ...

The movie starts off very weakly, as the early jokes focus on toilet gags and humping dogs. His first starring effort in 2004s Welcome to Mooseport landed with a massive thud and only earned $14 million. Hackman particularly seems somewhat drab. ... Full Review

Which it is really - as well as a waste of some great actors. But although Hackman gets to flash his lethal grin and blather on about nothing in lieu of his ignorance of traffic lights and fishing licences, the result proves to be reliably laughter-free. ... Full Review

Looks like he'll be staying on TV until a better film comes along. A lame movie might still be able to walk out of the theater, this one had to have help. Michael Elliott ( Movie Parables ) calls it "a pleasant if uninspired comedy. ... Full Review

I think the film will do extremely well with families and older audiences. That's how you know you've got a winner of a feel-good movie, when either character can come out on top without pissing off the audience. ... Full Review

Does life begin at 40? Ask Ray Romano, a bit of a late starter on the celebrity circuit. By the time he'd shot to small screen stardom as the title character in the surprisingly successful sit-com 'Everybody Loves Raymond', he'd... ... Full Article

Never quite worth a guffaw, but far from unwatchable, "Welcome to Mooseport" is about as middle-of-the-road as comedies get - and in this criminally unfunny movie season, that's about as much as one can ask for, sadly enough. ... Full Article

Gene Hackman plays a former president, who wants nothing more than to settle down in the small town of Mooseport and enjoy his retirement. He is convinced to run for mayor of the town and given a token opponent (Ray... ... Full Article

Maine setting, we can feel him literally shrinking in stature right before our eyes, his charisma dissipating long before it hits the edges of the movie screen. ... Full Article

February 19, 2004 - 2004 is a big election year, in which some monumental decisions will be made about the American public and the future of their country. ... Full Article

I wondered, back when I decided to give this flick- filosophizing thing a shot, how long I could keep it up. How many movies could I cover and still find interesting stuff to say beyond "this is good" and "that... ... Full Article
