Welcome to Mooseport is a 2004 romantic comedy starring Ray Romano and Gene Hackman. Tagline: This town isn't small enough for the both of them.
Plot Hackman plays Monroe "Eagle" Cole, former President of the United States who, upon retiring, moves in to his home in the fictional city of Mooseport, Maine to escape the clutches of ex-wife Charlotte Cole (Christine Baranski). Romano plays Harold 'Handy' Harrison, the local plumber of Mooseport. Following the death of the town mayor, the town council decides to approach former president Cole about running for the office. Cole agrees because, as it turns out, if he holds the office, his Mooseport house can serve as his office and, therefore, can no longer be divided up or sold off in his divorce settlement. Unbeknownst to Harrison, his name has also been entered into the race. When Harrison finds out Cole is running he decides to step down, that is until he notices an unwitting Cole make a pass at Harrison's girlfriend of six years, veterinarian Dr. Sally Mannis (Maura Tierney). Tensions rise, following the arrival of ex-wife and Cole campaign spoiler Charlotte. Cole's team, lead by long-time executive secretary, and eventual love interest, Grace Sutherland (Marcia Gay Harden) and presidential aide Will Bullard (Fred Savage), bring in the big guns in the form of campaign strategist Bert Langdon (Rip Torn) to get Cole elected mayor. As the campaigns progress, Cole and Harrison each becomes obsessed with winning the race at all (comedic) costs. Cast | ||||||||
