 | Did Adam Sandler take advantage of Winona Ryder's shoplifting trial? Insiders say he was able to get her for cheap, cheap, cheap, for after a series of flops she was persona non grata in Hollywood and this was to be her "comeback" in an A picture. And then came the shoplifting arrest and by the time the movie came out nervous executives couldn't decide how to play Ryder's appearance in the film. TV commercials aired that managed to obscure the fact that she was in it, or left her out altogether, providing viewers with a shock when they actually arrived in the theater and the credits came on. People were scratching their heads saying, "Hey, I didn't know Winona Ryder was in this!"
She's actually good in the movie, even though she has one of those lousy parts that are all about going undercover and then falling for your pigeon, and then he finds out who you really are just when you've discovered you love him. Hackneyed and formulaic, but you can see Winona trying to do something with the role and actually making you (sort of) believe that a hardened reporter could find love.
Oh well, forty billion dollars would leave anyone vulnerable. But to make a long story short, due to the way the studio tried to hide that she was in the movie, MDGTT failed as a comeback vehicle for Winona, and she is still searching the byways and highways of Hollywood looking for a box office hit that will onve again catapult her to the star salaries, the pick of roles, and the diva gymnastics with which she once held sway over Young Hollywood. Scripts once came to her door in truckloads! Let it happen again for a deserving little actress whose talented outshines many who are full-sized. |

| Adam Sandler movies always seem to be rather dumb and weird but always pack in a bunch of laughs. This one's no exception. But, in this one, I thought that John Mackenroe, and John Turturro delivered the most laughs but Sandler was at his best again. He completel dissmantles a group of people that bug his girlfriend and pays a LOT of money for some teenagers' bikes.
Anyway the movie's about Longfellow Deeds, an average Joe living in a small town where he is loved by everyone. He has one very weird friend that has very strange eyes and eats oreo pizzas. Anyway, then one day, Deeds inherits 40 billion dollars from a relative. He then moves to New York but is harassed by the press. He's not used to this life and has an awesome butler played with perfection by John Turturro.
The movie delivers good laughs and is a very solid movie. It frustrates me to give it 3 stars because aazon doesn't let you give 3 and 1/2 stars so I'm just going to give it 4. It makes a good rent that delivers a good amount of laughs. |

| This movie is about Deeds (Adam Sandler) inheriting his uncles billions of dollars. With the money he recives, he goes out and does a whole bunch of stupid stuff and in the end finds out what is really more important than money. I would recommend this movie. |

| Mr. Deeds is the most hilarious comedy I have ever seen, "besides Pet Detective." It is so funny, yet unnofensive. It keeps itself at a family film level, while making everyone die laughing.
It is most certainly Adam Sandler's funniest, and cleanest movie yet. |

| Definitely a good romantic comedy, Mr. Deeds, brings to the screen the story of an average guy from a small town in New Hampshire who is informed that he has inherited his uncle's fortune, worth $40 Billion (!!!). As a result, he moves to the Big Apple to be close to the business. Things become a bit more complicated when the press takes a rather strong interest in him...
Adam Sandler, Winona Ryder, John Torturro, Peter Gallagher, and the rest of the cast, have outdone themselves with their performances, which are exceptional to say the least. All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows! Very well written and very well presented, the movie is without a doubt guaranteed to provide more than just a few laughs.
The setting, the plot, the dialogues, the humor, and the music are all wonderful!
In short, Mr. Deeds is a movie worth watching and even though it is not quite as good as the Waterboy or the Wedding Singer, it is definitely a keeper!
