Devoid of wit and point.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Rotten
Means to satirize the TV-fueled carnivalesque nature of American electoral politics but only demonstrates the TV-fueled debasement of American commercial comedy.
J. Hoberman, Village Voice
Rotten
[Mooseport is] like the pound cake of movies -- nice and safe and sweet, but not really worth recommending.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
Pretty skimpy on fun.
