Nominations

 

"Welcome to Mooseport" is a perfectly fine comedy. Ray Romano demonstrates that his brand of comedy can stand up to the rigors of a feature-length film. Gene Hackman is brilliant, as always. And Maura Tierney - nominated for a Best Actress Cosmo two years ago for "Scotland, PA" - is always a delight, as is Oscar-winner Marcia Gay Harden.

But despite the pedigree of its performers, "Welcome to Mooseport," like last year's "Bruce Almighty," lacks the special oomph needed to stand out in a year that's always filled with clever comedies. It's perfectly amusing and perfectly satisfying...but also perfectly forgettable.

My Rating: 7
