Leave your thoughts about Welcome to Mooseport.
| Jam! MoviesBruce KirklandWelcome To Mooseport, which resonates with a little light Frank Capra and a touch of Norman Rockwell Americana, is just good old-fashioned fun. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderIt's the kind of movie that smiles blandly at you because it can't think of anything smart to say, and so you smile back, content but not intrigued. |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelMack BatesA smart but safe parable about how power can corrupt even the best of men, and how complacency is not a virtue. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyA toothless political satire set in a Maine coastal village. It plays like six subplots in search of a sitcom. |
| Ebert & RoeperRichard Roeper[Mooseport is] like the pound cake of movies -- nice and safe and sweet, but not really worth recommending. |
| Film ThreatChris BarsantiNot exactly screwball, and not exactly sentimental, but an uneasy and uncertain mix of the two. |

| CNN.comPaul Clinton (CNN.com)A tremendous waste of Academy Award-caliber talent. |
