Mr Deeds is a supposedly 'hilarious re-make of the classic American comedy Mr Deeds Goes To Town' according to the blurb on the back of the DVD box. The word 'supposedly' more or less sums up my review, but I shall invite you to read further and find out exactly what I thought of this film, and why. #~~~ THE FILM ~~~# Mr Deeds was released in 2002 by Columbia Pictures, and directed by Steven Brill. Rather an inappropriate surname as the film is far from 'brill'. It stars Adam Sandler as Longfellow Deeds, a pizza restaurant owner and bachelor small town hillbilly innocent, who unexpectedly finds himself the recipient of a trifling $40 billion dollars ...  Read the complete review

Adam Sandler's career is somewhat hit and miss, more miss than hit if truth be told but his good movies have been highly enjoyable in my eyes and have earned him a loyal following who will no doubt rush off to see this no matter what I might write here. With Mr. Deeds, we see him teamed up again with the director of his previous big time flop "Little Nicky", which was a movie rightfully trashed by the majority of critics and movie-goers worldwide, in a remake of master-of-manipulation Frank Capra's 1936 movie "Mr. Deeds Goes To Town". Despite lukewarm reviews so far in the US, Mr. Deeds shot straight to the top of the charts, knocking aside ...  Read the complete review

**FILM ONLY REVIEW** I have had this film now for what seems like years and I know I must have had it for quite a while because I still have it on video! Ive just never got around to converting it to DVD even though this is a film that I could watch over and over again. I was surprised to find that this film hasn't really gone down well with other dooyooer's and it only has a 3 star rating overall! I am going to write this review from the complete opposite viewpoint because I loved it then and still do now. I am a big Adam Sandler fan and I love pretty much every single one of his movies that I have ever watched and I am very happy to say that this film was no ...  Read the complete review

Mr Deeds was originally released nearly 10 years ago now and although for me it's not the best movie Adam Sandler has ever done it's still very entertaining and pretty funny. Adam Sandler rarely lets you down when appearing most films and this is another one that's well worth having a look at. The movie itself is based on the 1936 Gary Cooper comdey, Mr. Deeds goes to town. The story starts with Blake Preston (Harve Presnell). He is an 82 year-old billionaire media tycoon who believes that because of his money and wealth he can pretty much do anything he wants and is untouchable. That is until one day he decides to climb to the top of Mount Everest and ends up ...  Read the complete review
