Movie Reviews of Mr. Deeds (Widescreen Special Edition)
Movie Review: Longfellow Deeds is one lucky guy...
Summary: 4 Stars
Basically, good-hearted Longfellow Deeds (Sandler) is the heir to his uncle's mansion, and he moves from New Hampsire to New York City, where the mansion is clearly located. Winonda Ryder is Babe Bennett, a reporter who disguises herself in order to get a good story for the tabloids.
I wouldn't say that this Sandler comedy is as great as, say, Billy Madison or The Waterboy. It is actually lighter in tone, and has a more delicate storyline. It's still a good comedy, though, just not as funny as the older Sandler flicks. It's more of a heartfelt experience rather than a laugh-out-loud comedy. It makes you feel good when it ends. That's not necessarily a bad thing: I prefer happy endings when it comes to comedies.
I give this a B. It's a good, but not great, movie from Sandler.
Summary of Mr. Deeds (Widescreen Special Edition)
Adam sandler plays longfellow deeds a great-nephew to one of the worlds richest men who happens to die at the beginning of the movie. Deeds inherits 40 billion dollars but since hes from a small unknown town in new hampshire he does not see the need to have so much money. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 09/20/2005 Starring: Adam Sandler Winona Ryder Run time: 97 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Steven BrillFollowing 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 naivet? 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
