Editorial Review:
Following the flop of Little Nicky, Adam Sandler returned to safe territory in Mr. Deeds... and made Nicky look inspired by comparison. A loose remake of Frank Capra's 1936 classic Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, this dumbed-down version finds Sandler in the Gary Cooper role, inheriting a vast fortune and a corporate empire, foiling a greedy executive (Peter Gallagher), and winning the heart of an undercover reporter (Winona Ryder) who's been mocking his small-town naiveté in print while falling for his goodhearted sincerity. It's fun enough to satisfy Sandler's loyal fans--and John Turturro's a hoot as Deeds's foot-fetishist butler--but the subtleties of Capra are lost on Sandler, director Steven Brill, and writer Tim Herlihy. While Gary Cooper portrayed a rube who was savvy about big-city cynicism, Sandler's an amiable goofball with a heart of gold and an empty skull. You can admire him, and parts of the movie (including Steve Buscemi's unbilled cameo), but you have to work harder to get there. --Jeff Shannon

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - So-so remake.
Mr. Deeds starring Adam Sandler is a very loose remake of the Gary Cooper classic Mr. Deeds Goes To Town. The best thing about this 2002 film is the surprisely great chemistry between Sandler and Winona Ryder. Ryder is such a natural actress, her and Sandler are complete opposites when it comes to acting but their different styles seem to mesh well together (who knew?!). The comedy is a bit forced and contrived but there are some amusing moments, give this quriky film a try.

This was an entertaining movie with a sound cast. The story didn't quite measure up to the original as the remake, but there were some funny shining moments. While this is supposed to be an Adam Sandler film, John Turturro literally steals the movie. He is hilarious as Emilio Lopez the "sneaky sneaky" butler. This movie showcases his well timed comedic talent. Without his contribution, it would have been just an okay remake of a 1920's classic.
Rating:  - There are better comedies out there than this
Adam Sandler was one of those actors who you can just love. I loved him in 50 First Dates and Click for instance. In some of his movies, he's just plain irritating, and not funny. He's in the middle-ish in Mr Deeds.
Mr Deeds is a quaint little movie, featuring Adam as Longfellow Deeds, a guy from a little town (which he's never left), who writes greeting cards poems, and continuously gets rejected by Hallmark. From someone who works with greeting cards, they could have been suitable! He ... Read More
Rating: - Mr. Deeds - Review
Longfellow Deeds, a humble guy, inherits controlling interest in a massive media corporation. Deeds starts injecting small-town values into the company with hilarious results! Winona Ryder plays a NY tabloid reporter who's sent undercover to do an exposé on Deeds.
