Good start, but then it gets ruined

Fantastic!

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

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

Sandler's attempts to be less goofy meant a remake of the Frank Capra classic.When multi millionaire media mogul Preston Blake dies, his unknown nephew Longfellow Deeds (Adam Sandler), who runs a pizza shop and writes greeting cards is contacted Chuck Cedar (Peter Gallagher), who is temporarily in control of the media empire. He wants Deeds to sell his shares in the company to Cedar and return home $40 billion richer. However he gets involved with an undercover reporter (Winona Ryder) and Cedar plans to get the company by all possible means.Sandler very much is the nice guy here, not goofy, not bad tempered and hopes to stretch his acting muscles but is still a bit too much of a lovable dork. There are still some gross jokes, some songs and his regular acting friends drop by such as Steve Buscemi and Rob Schneider. John Turtturo stands out as the faithful butler who suddenly sneaks up on you. There are even a few cameos like John McEnroe.The plot is rather flimsy and predictable. The romantic angle does not really work. Sandler is nice but not too funny and as a remake it adds nothing to an original that has been rated very highly for years. This is not one of the better Sandler films.

There aren't too many people like Longfellow Deeds in this world. Deeds is a likable, 'good- guy' from the small town of Mandrake Falls who doesn't let money get in the way of what's really important to him. Its tough not to embrace the charismatic Deeds when life throws him a curveball and his world is turned upside down. Thought it's loosely based off of the 1936 film "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town", Steven Brill's film "Mr. Deeds" still comes off as an original comedy with a slight twist. Now don't go to watch this movie expecting an action-packed drama with lots of special effects. Instead, the combination of likable characters, a quirky love-story, and the overall positive moral of the film makes "Mr. Deeds" a favorite at any movie store. Longfellow Deeds may be perhaps the friendliest and most humble character that Adam Sandler has ever played, and the best thing about this role is that it seemed so natural for him. What really makes this film special is the cast of supporting characters such as John Turturro, Steve Buscemi, and Winona Ryder. Turturro plays the humorous and sneaky Emilio, a servant of Deeds while Buscemi plays Crazy-Eyes, a friendly but unusual citizen from Mandrake Falls. Both of these characters liven up the movie and add just a little silliness to the mix. Ryder stars as Babe Bennett, a sexy journalist who tricks Deeds into falling in love with her in order to gather any information she can about him to save her job. The relationship between Babe and Deeds really becomes the focal point of the film, and takes its viewers for quite a ride.The minute that Deeds saves Babe from her staged "mugging", it is obvious that these two will end up falling in love. This brings up one major flaw in the plot: it is way too predictable. This isn't necessarily a negative thing, but some viewers might not enjoy the fact that they can guess what will happen next. When Babe initially goes out with Deeds, she is simply doing it for her job and does her best to fake affection toward him in order to find out more information. As time draws on, Deeds' heartwarming personality grows on her more and more until she realizes she is in love and can't live with the fact that she is lying to him. This creates an interesting chemistry between the two, and it definitely keeps the audience's interest. One of the best parts about this film is that Longfellow Deeds' personality is contagious. It grows not only on his friends in the film, but also grows on his viewers. An important lesson taught in this film is to be happy no matter what you have. Deeds is a prime example of this, as even gaining $40 billion and becoming the richest man in New York doesn't change who he is one bit. In fact, he ends up teaching a room full of greedy stockholders this same exact lesson too. This is what makes "Mr. Deeds" such a fantastic film, seeing a lovable character that stays strong and fights for what he believes in. Having any other actor in the place of Sandler would definitely knock this film down a couple notches. The image Sandler portrays as Longfellow Deeds locks in the audience and makes them begin to care about him, especially as the girl he falls in love with turns out to have been hiding something from him. The twists and turns throughout the movie definitely keep things interesting, especially when things look so hopeless for Deeds that there couldn't be any way out. Anyone who is partial to a heartwarming classic will get a few good laughs and will definitely enjoy "Mr. Deeds".

I haven't seen the original film, but after I saw this, don't feel the urge to do it so. What can I say about this film: it sucks, and it sucks badly. Completely pointless, unreal, unfunny, lame dialogs, and very predictable. But what it strikes the most is why the big studios in Hollywood are producing films with Adam Sandler as the main character. Can't you see it?, HE SUCKS. I personally believe that you have a low self esteem (or a brain tumor) if you consider this guy funny, god forbid an average actor. And this turkey of a film doesn't make me change my point of view about this man. Not only doesn't make that, but also makes me believe that the stars conforming the supporting cast had taken LSD before reading the script. How can you make John Tuturro look silly and unfunny?, pair it with Sandler in a stinker movie. How can you make Steve Buscemi look disgusting and like a moron?. That's right, pair it with Sandler in a stinker movie. And the same goes with the rest. To sum up, if you like Adam Sandler doing the same type of character in the same Adam Sandler type of movie, I suggest you to view Mr Deeds. If you like to see a group of talented actor, doing it for the money and losing a bit of artistic credibility, I suggest you to view Mr. Deeds. But if you have good taste and like to have some earnest laughs, watch Mr. Deeds all the same, and try to find them. Heaven knows I couldn't
