Mr. Deeds (2002)
7/10
as it turns out, some millionaires have made the mistake that Preston Blake makes
18 June 2006
Since this remake of a classic movie is an Adam Sandler flick, you can pretty much predict most of it, namely the fact that he can get aggressive and that one character eventually reveals something embarrassing about himself. But otherwise, you're sure to have a good time. As an earthy goof-ball inheriting a massive fortune and turning the business world upside down, Sandler makes the most of his role. In supporting roles, Winona Ryder, John Turturro and Steve Buscemi have some great moments. Obviously, "Mr. Deeds" isn't any kind of "Citizen Kane"-style masterpiece, but it doesn't pretend to be; and let's face it, this movie easily beats any Jean-Claude Van Damme movie for smarts. Nice, goofy fun. Also starring Allen Covert, Peter Gallagher and Jared Harris.
