Mr. Deeds
Mr. Deeds
When Longfellow Deeds, a small-town pizzeria owner and poet, inherits $40 billion from his deceased uncle, he quickly begins rolling in a different kind of dough. Moving to the big city, Deeds finds himself besieged by opportunists all gunning for their piece of the pie. Babe, a television tabloid reporter, poses as an innocent small-town girl to do an exposé on Deeds.

Mr. Deeds is a fairly average comedy overall, but if you're a big Adam Sandler fan, you'll probably find more to enjoy. The humor is hit-or-miss, and the story plays it safe, but it has its moments. For me, the real standout was John Turturro. Every scene he’s in had me laughing more than anything else in the movie.
