Mr. Deeds Ratings & Reviews
- Eric BakkeJune 2, 2025Mr. 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.
