Though sparklingly lush Maine locales compensate for the film's TV-movie aesthetics, the story never rises above small-screen niceties.

Mr. Smith Does Not Go To Washington. Hey, a dramatic film actually about something. In this case, Treat Williams does dismayed and dropping out of DC politics, as The Congressman. But first invoking Sen. Margaret Chase Smith denouncing McCarthy back then.

Rating: 2/5 --
So-so political drama has lots of strong language.

Common Sense Media
This earnest political drama means well but deserves no votes for its stilted dialogue, poorly drawn characters and inept plotting and direction.

Rating: 6/10 --
Schmaltzy, simplistic and sincere - about "slowing down to the rhythm of the sea."

SSG Syndicate
The Congressman's politics and morals are childishly simple, featuring archvillains suffering buffoonish pratfalls and love stories that start up abruptly and quickly fizzle.

Product Description:
A frustrated congressman from Maine (Treat Williams) is pilloried by the media when he refuses to recite the Pledge of Allegiance during a government session. Soon after, he heads to a remote island in his district, where he gets involved in a heated dispute among its residents over lobster-fishing rights. Directed by Jared Martin and Robert Mrazek, the latter of whom served as a member of Congress from 1983 to 1993.
