Welcome to Mooseport
Whatever attractions US TV star Ray Romano possesses fail to transfer to the big cover in this flaccid, by-the-numbers comedy respecting a mayoral course between an ex-president (played close to the dependable Gene Hackman) and an common Joe (Romano) in small-municipality America. A missed moment, this is a toothless satire that relies on clichéd characterisation as it lurches from only predictable spot to another. Even the usually reliable Rip Torn and Marcia Gay Toughen fail to enliven proceedings and the sentimentality and overlong running then outlet what mean energy the had to establish with. You know you're in discommode when director Donald Petrie resorts to endless cutaway shots of cute dogs to struggle to generate some charm.
