A silly romantic comedy that barely kept my interest; Peter Gallagher and John Turtorro were stars of movie, what is with all the anger & violence from Sandler?

This wasn't as bad as the critics are saying! I mean, sure it's an Adam Sandler styled movie, but it's not Grown Ups 2 or Billy Madison for Gods sake!

Mr. Deeds has lots comedy a bit over the years, but I really enjoy the characters, many of these characters are only in the movie to use as jokes. Certainly not the best movie in the world but it was worth watching.

Apparently Adam Sandler dedicated this remake of the 1936 classic to his late grandmother. Now I can admire that, really I can, especially when the 1936 classic was her favourite film. But someone needs to tell Sandler that good intentionsApparently Adam Sandler dedicated this remake of the 1936 classic to his late grandmother. Now I can admire that, really I can, especially when the 1936 classic was her favourite film. But someone needs to tell Sandler that good intentions don't always make a good film. The ambition is there, but the film just isn't that great, not as pointless or as awful as the remakes to Psycho or the Wicker Man(which was unintentionally hilarious) I admit but sorry this wasn't good. There are one or two good things, such as the soundtrack, striking scenery and John Tuturro's turn as the Spanish butler. However, the script is cloying and lacking in wit, the direction is uninspired and the story is too saccharine and simplistic. Then in terms of acting, Adam Sandler gives one of his more unlikeable performances(I liked him in The Wedding Singer, 50 First Dates and Spanglish though found him irritating here and in Click) and Winona Ryder while she looks lovely forgets her acting lessons. Overall, has its good points but it isn't great. 4/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

Not laugh out loud wet your pants funny, but it wasn't dreadful. A little twee though.

This is the only movie I have actually liked Adam Sandler in, so that's pretty self-explanitory.

Mr Deeds may not be the best movie of all time but it is far from the worst.

I wouldn't bother seeking this one out but if there's nothing else on TV it might be worth a watch.… Expand

Contrary to popular belief, Deeds isn't terrible, there's just no reason to seek it out. Its a film one would watch to pass time. Don't expect anything amazing.
