Editorial/Description:Product Description: MR. DEEDS (UMD) (UMD) Amazon.com: 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

Longfellow Deeds (Adam Sandler), a small town pizza shop owner who writes greeting cards (not that Hallmark has accepted any), inherits a $40 billion business from an uncle he never met. So at the behest of the company's executives, he goes to the big city to sign paperwork until the executives can raise the money to buy him out.
It's big news, and tabloid TV reporter Babe (Winona Ryder) goes undercover to get the scoop on him.
Of course, the executives turn out to be crooked, and Deeds's small-town honesty is needed to save the day. And of course he and Babe fall in love.
It's predictable, but fun, and requires major suspension of disbelief. Not a bad way to spend an hour and a half with the kids, but not a movie to purchase for the collection.
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.

I would say it's goofy funny, good movie for the family.
Adam Sandler plays a guy who just inherited 40 million dollars &
Takes his first trip to the BIG APPLE NEW YORK.
While he's there he meets a very fine women play by Winona Ryder.
At first she's goin out with him because her, then she starts to figure out she's falling in love with him.
Before she could tell him the truth he found out she was a reporter,
and almost everything she had told him was a lie.
So Deeds leaves and goes back home, the day they had scheduled a board
For the sale of BLAKE MEDIA Deeds shows back up to give speech about why they shouldn't sale the company.
Then to find out that the butler was actually PRESTON BLAKES son no one had ever been told it was in his Diary.
A his new found son takes over BLAKE MEDIA.
Deeds and his new found love return home to run a pizza parlor.
I rate this movie a 9 from 1to10!!

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.
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.
