Floated2 Mr. Deeds is very similar to many other Adam Sandler films. The film follows a basic and predictable formula. Many of the comedian's reliable standards are in effect: abuse of old folks, crude humor, a Rob Schneider appearance, and mentally deficient sidekicks. Some of the stuff works, but there's not much room for originality. This movie even perpetuates Sandler's trend of playing guys who are unexpectedly good at dishing out beatings. Many have considered Mr. Deeds to be one of Adam Sandler's more underrated films, and in several ways it is. However the film is typical but entertaining in some areas. It is a decent comedy, and the humor is what one would expect from a Sandler film.
2karl- well here is a sweet mischievous film from Adam Sander called Longfellow deed he writes greeting cards that are like poems to people in a place called mandrake falls on known to him his long lost uncle is hanging out on mount Everest but his uncle gets frozen and deeds becomes 40 billion richer or does he so off to the big city with the whole town wishing him well but deeds is simple or something so he not used to mischievous people so he lets people walk over him as the company is a media empire there is reporters everywhere looking to find out who deeds is and mischievous news chief likes to make up stories to get ahead so comes up with a story to find out and deeds finds love of sorts with a nurse or so it seems but accidentally he finds a diary from his uncle past and his mysterious fast footed personal butler is quite the charmer so but with a few sporting legends cameos ruining the deeds public image things aren't what the seem has deeds being fooled or does he have straiten every one out with a bit of common sense or few right hooks with a so called nurse of his 7/10 I taught is was a touching comedy drama with a hint of romance this is my 60 review
Kelly O'Leary There aren't too many people like Longfellow Deeds in this world. Deeds is a likable, 'good- guy' from the small town of Mandrake Falls who doesn't let money get in the way of what's really important to him. Its tough not to embrace the charismatic Deeds when life throws him a curveball and his world is turned upside down. Thought it's loosely based off of the 1936 film "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town", Steven Brill's film "Mr. Deeds" still comes off as an original comedy with a slight twist. Now don't go to watch this movie expecting an action-packed drama with lots of special effects. Instead, the combination of likable characters, a quirky love-story, and the overall positive moral of the film makes "Mr. Deeds" a favorite at any movie store. Longfellow Deeds may be perhaps the friendliest and most humble character that Adam Sandler has ever played, and the best thing about this role is that it seemed so natural for him. What really makes this film special is the cast of supporting characters such as John Turturro, Steve Buscemi, and Winona Ryder. Turturro plays the humorous and sneaky Emilio, a servant of Deeds while Buscemi plays Crazy-Eyes, a friendly but unusual citizen from Mandrake Falls. Both of these characters liven up the movie and add just a little silliness to the mix. Ryder stars as Babe Bennett, a sexy journalist who tricks Deeds into falling in love with her in order to gather any information she can about him to save her job. The relationship between Babe and Deeds really becomes the focal point of the film, and takes its viewers for quite a ride.The minute that Deeds saves Babe from her staged "mugging", it is obvious that these two will end up falling in love. This brings up one major flaw in the plot: it is way too predictable. This isn't necessarily a negative thing, but some viewers might not enjoy the fact that they can guess what will happen next. When Babe initially goes out with Deeds, she is simply doing it for her job and does her best to fake affection toward him in order to find out more information. As time draws on, Deeds' heartwarming personality grows on her more and more until she realizes she is in love and can't live with the fact that she is lying to him. This creates an interesting chemistry between the two, and it definitely keeps the audience's interest. One of the best parts about this film is that Longfellow Deeds' personality is contagious. It grows not only on his friends in the film, but also grows on his viewers. An important lesson taught in this film is to be happy no matter what you have. Deeds is a prime example of this, as even gaining $40 billion and becoming the richest man in New York doesn't change who he is one bit. In fact, he ends up teaching a room full of greedy stockholders this same exact lesson too. This is what makes "Mr. Deeds" such a fantastic film, seeing a lovable character that stays strong and fights for what he believes in. Having any other actor in the place of Sandler would definitely knock this film down a couple notches. The image Sandler portrays as Longfellow Deeds locks in the audience and makes them begin to care about him, especially as the girl he falls in love with turns out to have been hiding something from him. The twists and turns throughout the movie definitely keep things interesting, especially when things look so hopeless for Deeds that there couldn't be any way out. Anyone who is partial to a heartwarming classic will get a few good laughs and will definitely enjoy "Mr. Deeds".
ctomvelu1 A misfire, but not without its moments. This absolutely unnecessary remake of the Frank Capra classic has a small town everyman (Sandler) inheriting a fortune and moving to the big city where he is almost always one step ahead of the con men and crooks who would love to hang him out to dry. His one weakness is Winona Ryder as plucky Lois Lane-type reporter who worms her way into his life in order to get a story. The film is utterly devoid of charm, but it has some physical comedy (Sandler beating up on various people) that should make most of you laugh out loud. Sandler is his usual watchable self, and this may explain why such an unnecessary movie raked in almost four times what it cost to make.
