Welcome to Mooseport (2004) - 3 stars out of 5 stars

Comedy as I have said many times before is very,very subjective.This film is most humorous for me because it weaves a silly love triangle on a even more silly story of a divorced ex  president who retires in a small town in Maine.However it starts slow and the early humor doesn't work well for me.Only after a election race pitting the ex president against a local hardware handyman does it take off.Thus I had to take the 2 stars off.It is for adults only IMHO.Well maybe HS age kids.The story is kinda unique and the acting is A+ with Gene Hackman,Ray Romano leading the way.Released in 2004 and running 110 minutes, you can do far,far worse,and its different,ha,ha.Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary below.

Monroe "Eagle" Cole is a former U.S. President ready to settle into a quaint little town named Mooseport. He's ready to take in the lion's share of endorsement deals and speaking engagements while developing his own presidential library. Meanwhile, Handy Harrison is a local hardware store owner with a girlfriend ready to throw in the towel on their relationship. Just as Monroe is offered the local mayor's position, he's found an unlikely opponent in Handy. But ultimately, both men have a lot to lose when the stakes are raised and a simple competition turns into an all out war. Written by mystic80
