-Gene

-Ray
Romano
The
quiet,
charming
town
of
Mooseport,
Maine
is
invaded
by
the
former
president
of
the
country
in
this
Capraesque
comedy
starring
Ray
Romano
and
Gene
Hackman.
Monroe
"The
Eagle"
Cole
(Gene
Hackman)
is a
hugely
popular
Clinton-era
former
president,
who
retires
to
bucolic
Mooseport,
Maine
after
a
bitter
divorce
from
his
wife
(Christine
Baranski).
Coincidentally,
Mooseport
is
in
need
of a
new
mayor
and
Cole
steps
in
to
what
he
thinks
will
be a
one-man
race
and
a
much-needed
publicity
boost.
However,
local
handyman
and
plumber
Handy
Harrison
(Ray
Romano)
has
entered
the
race
as
well,
complicating
the
no-contest
election.
Handy
is a
beloved
Mooseport
local,
well-liked
but
incapable
of
committing
to
his
long-time
girlfriend
Sally
Mannis
(Maura
Tierney).
Sally
has
spent
the
last
seven
years
waiting
for
Handy
to
propose
and
so,
when
a
smitten
Cole
asks
her
out
on a
dinner
date,
she
eagerly
accepts
in
hopes
of
making
Handy
jealous.
It
works,
turning
the
race
into
a
personal
and
political
rivalry
as
Handy
fights
not
only
the
mayorship
but
also
to
regain
Sally's
heart.
Supporting
stars
include
Marcia
Gay
Harden
and
Rip
Torn
as
members
of
Cole's
staff,
who
help
to
launch
a
full-scale
campaign
in
the
town
of
less
than
a
thousand
people.
