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. Full Review |

a pretty enjoyable film and if you’re looking for a distraction from all of the real world politics, at least the laughs in “Mooseport” are intentional. Full Review |

2/5 |
The script is so weak, so illogical, so bereft of actual humour that it takes the considerable charm of the cast merely to prop it up. Full Review |

1/5 |

Clunkily earthbound as its characters and the situations plod forward while never getting anywhere. Full Review |

1.5/5 |
Lord knows we need to laugh about politics, but when it comes to salving our Oval Office wounds, Welcome to Mooseport is like taking a baby aspirin for pneumonia... Full Review |

Not even accidentally amusing, is dumber than a Lyndon Larouche campaign, and features a love story that can only be described as icky. Make that two love stories, and they're both icky. Full Review |
