Welcome to Mooseport

THE TOWN ISN’T SMALL ENOUGH FOR THE BOTH OF THEM.

welcometomooseportEx-president Monroe “Eagle” Cole (Gene Hackman) moves to a small town and agrees to run for mayor; his opponent is an affable plumber (Ray Romano) with commitment issues. That sounds just like Romanoā€™s character on Everybody Loves Raymond, and he does indeed play the plumber the same way. Romano is predictable but charming and Hackman is very believable as the smug ā€œEagleā€. The filmmakers are hoping for that old Frank Capra touch (with Romano as Jimmy Stewart), but their unpretentious comedy would never have been this likable without these actors; they do the heavy lifting.

2004-U.S. 110 min. Color.Ā Directed byĀ Donald Petrie.Ā Cast:Ā Gene Hackman (Monroe ā€œEagleā€ Cole), Ray Romano (Harold ā€œHandyā€ Harrison), Marcia Gay Harden (Grace Sutherland), Maura Tierney, Christine Baranski, Fred Savageā€¦ Rip Torn, June Squibb.Ā Cameo:Ā Edward Herrmann.

Trivia:Ā Dustin Hoffman was allegedly first cast as Monroe Cole.
