Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Dom Nickson After I saw this film like 20 to 30 times. I realized that the only truly funny scene that got to me was when the guy gets whipped by his father after saying, "NO DADDY, NO!" I never laughed at the scene when the cats were in the burning building, I never laughed when Adam fell through the table, and I never laughed during the epic fight scene in the restaurant. I just don't care for this film at all. It's all about the stock market and honestly I have more fun in my own accounting class then I do watching this movie. Oddly, I thought Winona Ryder did OK with what she had to work with and she really captures the audience's attention. Adam Sandler did play a good role too but this film wasn't as funny as it was anticipated to be. I give it a 4 out of 10 because it was alright the way it was written, it's just there wasn't enough jokes, I thought. It was more serious in tone and I think that took away from having Adam Sandler in the film. Adam Sandler is usually pretty funny, but here he plays a character that seems like kind of a bore and it really is hard to make a character comedic.

Jackson Booth-Millard Based on the classic Gary Cooper/Frank Capra original, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, this takes only small remnants of the source material to create a more up-to-date modern version, and fails miserably, from director Steven Brill (Little Nicky, Without a Paddle). Basically multi-millionaire Preston Blake (Patch Adams's Harve Presnell) dies while climbing the summit of Mount Everest, and his company's attorney Chuck Cedar (Sex, Lies, and Videotape's Peter Gallagher) and Cecil Anderson (The Mummy's Erick Avari) are now looking for his closest living relative to give the assets to. They find that in his nephew, naive New Hampshire pizzeria owner and wannabe greetings card poetry writer Longfellow Deeds (Razzie nominated Adam Sandler), who obviously doesn't completely grasp the fact that he has inherited a mass fortune, $40 billion to be exact. Mr. Deeds is brought with them to New York, and he finds himself surrounded by people who are giving him advice he cannot really follow and trying to get their own piece of fortune for their own gains. Meanwhile the press are also trying to find out more about the person who has inherited the multi-million dollar fortune, and it is up television tabloid reporter Babe Bennett (Razzie nominated Winona Ryder) to get close to Deeds, as she poses as an innocent small town girl. In the process of getting to know him Babe loses track of her scoop and finds herself falling in love with the naive millionaire, who is spending his fortune on meaningless things, and even giving away thousands of dollars to people he has never met, e.g. kids and tramps. Cedar knows that he and his associates and shareholders need to get their money back from Deeds, and he does not care how it is done, he eventually comes up with the plan to sell the company. By the end Deeds realises that money is not the most important in his life or anybody else's, and when it looks like everything is lost the true intentions of Blake Media come to light, and his butler Emilio Lopez (Quiz Show's John Turturro) gets everything, while Deeds gets a billion dollars and is happy with Babe. Also starring Allen Covert as Marty, Jared Harris as Mac McGrath, Edward Scissorhand's Conchata Ferrell as Jan, Steve Buscemi as Crazy Eyes, Peter Dante as Murph, John McEnroe and Rob Schneider as Nazo the Italian Delivery Man (from Big Daddy). Sandler is usually a tolerable enough dumb character, but here he is not witty or likable as Cooper was, especially with that stupid black foot, Ryder is a silly choice for a journalist who becomes his love interest, and many of the other cast members are just as bad or annoying, especially Buscemi with his stupid eyes, only moments of Turturro are amusing with his accent. The story should be witty and have a sweet charm about it, with the leading character and how he comes into his fortune and what he does with it, but here it is just an excuse to see a near retarded simpleton get rich, surrounded by equally stupid characters doing almost nothing but throw his money away, and there are the horrible mushy sentimental moments too, absolutely none of it made me laugh, it an atrocious comedy. It was nominated the Razzie for Worst Remake or Sequel. Very poor!

wes-connors Small-town funny-man and "Deeds' Pizza" owner Adam Sandler (as Longfellow Deeds) learns he has inherited $40,000,000,000 when a great uncle dies. Leaving his Mandrake Falls, New Hampshire home, Mr. Sandler is taken to wicked New York City by sneaky Peter Gallagher (as Chuck Cedar), who is plotting to steal Sandler's empire. The business seems loosely based on Rupert Murdoch's FOX corps. Included is a take-off on Bill O'Reilly's old "Inside Edition" (as "Inside Access") show with Jared Harris (as Mac McGrath) essaying the oily host. He assigns muckraker Winona Ryder (as Babe Bennett) to bring in the dirt on Sandler...Things get complicated when a certain couple falls in love. Leading the class at Sandler's richly decorated townhouse is manservant John Turturro (as Emilio Lopez). He has a foot fetish and Sandler has an invulnerable "black foot" which can be beaten severely. Sandler possesses super-hero powers. He saves people with Spider-Man climbing and his Superman foot. Though rated PG-13, this re-make of the more adult-oriented "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" (1936) has humor which will appeal mostly to even younger viewers. The part about "Winchestertonfieldville" is cute and the New York City photography by Peter Lyons Collister is nice.**** Mr. Deeds (6/28/02) Steven Brill ~ Adam Sandler, Winona Ryder, John Turturro, Peter Gallagher

heavy metal is the law I haven't seen the original film, but after I saw this, don't feel the urge to do it so. What can I say about this film: it sucks, and it sucks badly. Completely pointless, unreal, unfunny, lame dialogs, and very predictable. But what it strikes the most is why the big studios in Hollywood are producing films with Adam Sandler as the main character. Can't you see it?, HE SUCKS. I personally believe that you have a low self esteem (or a brain tumor) if you consider this guy funny, god forbid an average actor. And this turkey of a film doesn't make me change my point of view about this man. Not only doesn't make that, but also makes me believe that the stars conforming the supporting cast had taken LSD before reading the script. How can you make John Tuturro look silly and unfunny?, pair it with Sandler in a stinker movie. How can you make Steve Buscemi look disgusting and like a moron?. That's right, pair it with Sandler in a stinker movie. And the same goes with the rest. To sum up, if you like Adam Sandler doing the same type of character in the same Adam Sandler type of movie, I suggest you to view Mr Deeds. If you like to see a group of talented actor, doing it for the money and losing a bit of artistic credibility, I suggest you to view Mr. Deeds. But if you have good taste and like to have some earnest laughs, watch Mr. Deeds all the same, and try to find them. Heaven knows I couldn't
