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.
Critics Sentiment
Deeds arrives in New York and meets butler Emilio
Deeds violently beats Marty during the staged mugging
The film drops significantly from the praised Emilio introduction to the criticized violent beating scene, a swing of 2.6 points.
Mr. Deeds receives mixed reviews that follow a predictable arc, starting competently with Sandler's likeable small-town character and peaking with John Turturro's universally praised butler performance. The film struggles through formulaic romantic subplot and crude humor before recovering somewhat with a conventional but sweet ending.
