Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for people who love a story where everyone knows everyone and politics junkies. The small-town setting is half the character. Liked The Trouble with Harry or Local Hero? This is a good next one. Critics were cooler on it, but audiences had a great time.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Zips along, at 1 hr 50 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

A US president who has retired after two terms in office returns to his hometown of Mooseport, Maine and decides to run for Mayor against another local candidate.
