Entertainment Reviews:
[Mooseport is] like the pound cake of movies -- nice and safe and sweet, but not really worth recommending.
Ebert & Roeper
Rating: 1/4 --
Devoid of wit and point.
Rolling Stone
It's a snooze on every level.
Observer
Rating: 5/10 --
The movie never takes its material far enough, it's never daring, it's never edgy, it's never satiric. It's just, well, it's just TV.

Movie Metropolis
Rating: 1.5/4 --
Comes off less like a feature film than a failed sitcom pilot.

Rating: 1.5/4 --
This lackluster production fails to generate much in the way of tension and less in the way of merriment.
Bean Soup Times
Means to satirize the TV-fueled carnivalesque nature of American electoral politics but only demonstrates the TV-fueled debasement of American commercial comedy.

Product Description:
The quiet, charming town of Mooseport, Maine is invaded by the former president of the country in this Capraesque comedy starring Ray Romano and Gene Hackman. Monroe "The Eagle" Cole (Gene Hackman) is a hugely popular Clinton-era former president, who retires to bucolic Mooseport, Maine after a bitter divorce from his wife (Christine Baranski). Coincidentally, Mooseport is in need of a new mayor and Cole steps in to what he thinks will be a one-man race and a much-needed publicity boost. However, local handyman and plumber Handy Harrison (Ray Romano) has entered the race as well, complicating the no-contest election. Handy is a beloved Mooseport local, well-liked but incapable of committing to his long-time girlfriend Sally Mannis (Maura Tierney). Sally has spent the last seven years waiting for Handy to propose and so, when a smitten Cole asks her out on a dinner date, she eagerly accepts in hopes of making Handy jealous. It works, turning the race into a personal and political rivalry as Handy fights not only the mayorship but also to regain Sally's heart. Supporting stars include Marcia Gay Harden and Rip Torn as members of Cole's staff, who help to launch a full-scale campaign in the town of less than a thousand people.
