Welcome to Mooseport is such a blandly likable comedy that your grandmother could watch it and wish for a little sex and violence to keep her awake. Perhaps the phenomenal popularity of TV's Everybody Loves Raymond made Ray Romano proceed too cautiously in selecting this small-town comedy as his film debut; without a live audience and an endless supply of punchy one-liners at his disposal, his domestic everyman persona seems a bit lost, ill-defined and uncertain how to respond when a former U.S. President (Gene Hackman) (1) moves to the quiet, jovial Maine burg of Mooseport, where Romano's the beloved plumber and hardware store proprietor; (2) proceeds to make moves on Ray's long-time girlfriend (Maura Tierney, from ER); and (3) runs against our ol' pal Ray in Mooseport's homespun mayoral election. Hackman's got some stellar support from Marcia Gay Harden and Rip Torn (and, to a lesser degree, Fred Savage), and Tierney's a pleasure as always, but director Donald Petrie (Miss Congeniality) can't spin gold from straw; Tom Schulman's screenplay aims to please everyone, draining the energy from what might, in other hands, have been a deliciously devious premise. There's such a thing as being "niced" to death, and Welcome to Mooseport is proof. --Jeff Shannon

 Classic funny! December 20, 2009
R. hewitt (Maryland)
I wanted this for my DVD collection of older funnies and this one is one of my favorite. Cant say much about it, its one you have to see. You will either love it or think its stupid but it is one of the classics. Enjoy!
 Not my favorite comedy April 25, 2009
R. Bagula (Lakeside, Ca United States)
In fact I'm not at all a Ray Romano fan, so I wasn't surprised that the love scenes just don't have any passion.
In a story where we are supposed to believe that a plumber takes on the ex-president of the USA, you just don't believe anybody except
Marcia Gay Harden who brings off her role as the presidential aid.
I really thought this was a stinker of a movie.
 Watched several times. January 23, 2009

Delightful, light-hearted comedy-romance, set in small town America that reminds me of movies from yesteryear. Had this taped on VHS and have watched it numerous times and have ordered the DVD to replace it. It is timeless entertainment that in the end will leave you happy and cheering for all.

One-Line Film Reviews (Easton, MD)
The Bottom Line:
Unremarkably mediocre in almost every way, Welcome to Mooseport will likely go down in history solely for the fact that it was Gene Hackman's last movie.
small town genre September 12, 2008
A. B. Jackson (Yeadon, PA United States)
9/12/08 Actors*: Romano,Hackman, Harden,Tierney,Baranski,Torn and Savage help to elevate what is considered atypical jargon and scenarios in the way small towns and its people are depicted...There are no real surprises expected on how the movie will end .The expression, there are no small parts just small actors ring true here... this cast of *strong actors* & a couple of the second bananas are able to keep the scenes from being mediocre. 9/12/08 abj
