Mr. Deeds is one of the worst films of 2002 , the plot is quite interesting , although not unique, and the cast is good, Adam Sandler ( I think a good actor ) is well up the rest of the cast are average performances weak , I did not find this funny movie , has well ridiculous moments , the soundtrack is weak , the script is weak, the very superficial dialogues , the direction is right away , Adam Sandler 's character is the Deeds is very forced and dull , your romantic home can be even worse, unfortunately Adam Sandler rarely choose good movies , most are weak, and all are very similar , all his films have to have a romantic couple , Mr. Deeds is one of the worst movies I have ever seen , and also perhaps the worst film filmography of Sandler (which is not a bad actor). Note 1.1

Mr. Deeds (2002): Dir: Steven Brill / Cast: Adam Sandler, Winona Ryder, Peter Gallagher, Jon Turturro, Allen Covert: Supposedly based on Mr. Deeds Goes to Town but Adam Sandler hardly fills Gary Cooper's shoes, and director Steven Brill is no Frank Capra either. Sandler plays Longfellow Deeds who inherits forty million dollars. Winona Ryder plays a struggling reporter sent to embarrass him while Peter Gallagher plays a tycoon trying to manipulate him into signing away the company. Lame story with Sandler basically playing the same obnoxious moron he is known to play. He starts out here as a pizza delivery guy before settling in a mansion. Then he is involved in lame subplots, one involving a lady in a burning house who will not leave until Deeds throws all of her cats out the window. Director Brill previously cast Sandler in the equally dreadful Little Nicky. Ryder as the biggest disappointment. It isn't difficult to predict her change of heart and unwillingness to sabotage Deeds. Gallagher is wasted as a rather standard villain. Jon Turturro has the one funny performance as a butler with a foot fetish. He appears periodically but becomes the one good plot turn. Allen Covert also appears as a reporter with more forced humour heaped upon juvenile material. Deeds orders him to beat his frost-bitten foot with a fireplace poker. The same should be done to the film. Score: 3 ½ / 10

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

After I saw this film like 20 to 30 times. I realized that the only truly funny scene that got to me was when the guy gets whipped by his father after saying, "NO DADDY, NO!" I never laughed at the scene when the cats were in the burning building, I never laughed when Adam fell through the table, and I never laughed during the epic fight scene in the restaurant. I just don't care for this film at all. It's all about the stock market and honestly I have more fun in my own accounting class then I do watching this movie. Oddly, I thought Winona Ryder did OK with what she had to work with and she really captures the audience's attention. Adam Sandler did play a good role too but this film wasn't as funny as it was anticipated to be. I give it a 4 out of 10 because it was alright the way it was written, it's just there wasn't enough jokes, I thought. It was more serious in tone and I think that took away from having Adam Sandler in the film. Adam Sandler is usually pretty funny, but here he plays a character that seems like kind of a bore and it really is hard to make a character comedic.
