Mr. Deeds (Widescreen Special Edition) description
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

♥♥♥♥♥ 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 inherits $40 billion, a shocking amount which would make anyone go on a shopping spree, but at the same time, Deeds has his feet firmly on the ground. The amount doesn't phase him in the slightest.

Featuring a host of stars from Peter Gallagher, to Winona Ryder, John Turturro, to Steve Buscemi, and more familiar faces, the stars manage to keep the film upright, and watchable. Yes it's almost instantly forgettable (apart from the character Steve Buscemi plays) as soon as the credits start rolling, and it's typical Adam Sandler nonsensical trash, but at the same time, it's alright. It's watchable. And it has its odd funny moments. I just prefer Click & 50 First Dates. It shows another side of Adam, apart from the funny, goofy guy.
