FrankO.Jan 28, 20065A silly romantic comedy that barely kept my interest; Peter Gallagher and John Turtorro were stars of movie, what is with all the anger & violence from Sandler?

CharlesM.Jan 31, 200610There are some of the funniest scenes ever produced in a movie. Don't take it to serious or compare to anything else.

ErikaM.Nov 10, 20029I thought this movie was good. not the best adam sandler movie but i thought it deserved an 9. It also had a good love story in it.

AGAug 24, 20024It's the first Adam Sandler movie that just didn't seem to have as much fun as his other movies did. Winona Ryder is hideously miscast which makes the only truly funny character in the movie the Butler. The "Sneaky, Sneaky" jokes were by far the funniest parts in the movie.

CalebT.Nov 18, 20023Rejoice sandler fans! Adam Sandler does it again in this watered-down romantic comedy! i gave this film 3 stars but each and EVERY one of them goes to turturro. Frank Capra must be rolling in his grave....

LloydC.Jun 30, 20020Simply a terrible movie devoid of anything more than a chuckle. Bad script, bad acting, bad directing, etc. If you go to see it, remember to check your brains in the lobby.

JustinB.Jul 30, 20022Ok, 2 points ONLY because Adam Sandler is in it. There is a reason why the Croc Hunter is better rated!

SahashN.Aug 4, 20021I didn't force myself to die a slow painful death with a red hot poker after seeing this movie. For that, it gets a 1.

JimBobS.Jan 7, 20036This movie is a good movie. it ends perfectly and it is pretty funny.

DennisM.Jun 22, 20047This movie has a great inside message about how money can make people compromise their values and go with the flow. They are never happy. Longfellow Deeds is the winner in the end.

fink-Nov 28, 20059C'mon this movie wasn't that bad...I strongly disagree with this review! It's a comedy, and not all of them have such a great plot, that's pretty much the point!!

BigK.Dec 20, 20055Not laugh out loud wet your pants funny, but it wasn't dreadful. A little twee though.

MiriamMJul 20, 20050Crap. What has happened to Adam?
-
-
JoeMammaMay 24, 20099Loved it, why is Adam Sandler so looked down upon by critics. Not just this movie but in general.
-
-
JulioP.Nov 1, 20020One of the worst films I watched the last few years... how come the great Winona would play in such a trash?
-
-
ArthurDec 1, 20023The bottom line is that this movie just isn't very funny. It tries too hard to be both funny and romantic that it fails at both. It's really a shame because there is so much that could have been done here.
-
-
MetalInc.Oct 28, 20025For all of the people that TOTALLY trashed this movie....what were you expecting....it is another Sandler film, and you expect something different? This wasn't as good as previous movies by him, but wasn't the worst one either. Just fun to watch. Not high brow, not low brow, just fun.
-
-
B.S.Oct 28, 20023Good acting but not realing funny and the story just sucked. I had more laughs at the movies previews.

[Anonymous]Jun 30, 20028This is a hilarious movie!
-
-
DanJun 30, 20020I thought this movie sucked. Adam Sandler really should do some better scripts, and winona ryder? well I don't know what she did in that beverly hills store, but she couldn't steal this show.
-

MildonF.Jul 14, 200210Terrible as a remake, but as a movie, this is the best. Go see Mr. Deeds as many times as you can! Adam Sandler is in top form and you'll love him!

DakarJul 15, 200210Screw all you in your stupid asses, mr deeds was the sh*t, adam sandler ownz all of you so at least pay your respects and give some respects to the master.

DrewB.Jul 5, 20028Hilarious! sandler is hilarious and romantic. a great film.

BobJul 5, 20022It's just not a very good movie. Period. Even Sandler couldn't save this one.

AngelG.Mar 27, 200410This is the best. It was so funny and all of the cast were great. It's the best adam has ever done.

BrettD.Nov 30, 200510Mr. Deeds is the best movie ever!! I have watched around 30 times and I still love it. All my friends like the movie as well.

-
CiaranG.Jan 4, 20077Quite good movie! Worth watching if you're looking for something funny. If you liked Adam Sandler's other films, you'll probably love this.

-
kittyJul 8, 20086This is the only movie I have actually liked Adam Sandler in, so that's pretty self-explanitory.
-
-
JanisW.Nov 9, 200210This was one of the funniest movies I've seen. People took this movie too seriously to see the pure comedy in it.
-
-
AJCOct 29, 20026Exactly what you should expect from Sandler. Something you can watch and forget your worries for a short while. Turturro's "Sneaky Sneaky" or the feline rescue scene were well worth the cost of the rental.
-
-
RobertH.Jun 28, 20021Adam you can do it. That is make crap movies like this and still score at the box office. Bad writing, bad acting, bad, bad, bad! Don't waste your time.

EarlD.Jun 29, 20021You will groan with displeasure.

EddieSt.P.Jul 16, 200210Great movie. What's wrong with these critics? It's like they hate everything to do with SNL.
-
-
MikeD.Jul 26, 20028I thought this movie was a good Sandler comedy that's only intention is to make you laugh. I laughed hard so I think Adam accomplished his goal. I think these other over-paid critics are looking for something different.
-
-
EileenG.Aug 29, 20026Was not one of Adam Sandler's greatest movies.
-
-
KatieP.Dec 22, 200310I really enjoyed this movie. Very funny. But if you hate Sandler, don't see it. God. If I hate asian movies, I don't go out to see one and expect to like it. You guys are so naive.
-
-
AngelF.Oct 29, 200310I found this movie to be an excellent movie. There are a couple of things to be learned from this movie--money doesn't always buy happiness--those of who in life who are of simple minds (honest innocence) are probably the happiest.

YoonC.Sep 23, 20035A dumb movie yes, but some people like Sandler, others don't. Count me among the former. This movie has just enough laughs for recommendation. A big plus is the lovely and talented Winona Ryder. She doesn't do much but she doesn't have to. And the only thing she shoplifts here is our hearts.

MartinL.Dec 4, 20046This movie is good.

AnthonyS.Nov 24, 200510Adam Sandler rocks, everyone is jealous of how funny he is so they give him a low rating, no1 will be a funnier comedian than him.
-
-
May 19, 201110Out of all the Adam Sandler movies I've seen, this one's my favorite. Barely any sexual references, yet funny throughout the entire movie!
-
Dec 21, 20118A great comedy, and a good romance in it too, I found myself laughing often, and Adam Sandler gives a good performance but not his best, I did find myself questioning if he was the best choice for the character, but its got its hilarious moments, and if your a fan of Adam Sandler or Happy Madison then this is a must watch.
-
Jan 12, 20123I like Adam Sandler but his role as Mr. Deeds lacks his ambition and this is one of his worst films I've seen. It's a predictable that's unpleasant in too many scenes of humor for such a comedy that tries to be light.
-
Dec 31, 20117I thought it was a good comedy. It does get generic and corny ,like every Sandler film, but it was still well enough overall for a watch. I enjoyed it.
-
Nov 7, 20125Contrary to popular belief, Deeds isn't terrible, there's just no reason to seek it out. Its a film one would watch to pass time. Don't expect anything amazing.
-
75Armed with a dinner theater accent and hair that looks like an LP melted on his head, Turturro pockets the picture. As a demonstration of his newly accessed maturity and benevolence, Sandler helps him do it.
-
20Sandler is -- à la "The Wedding Singer" -- in his washout romantic mode here, and no amount of spastic-colon jokes, cartoon violence or good-buddy cameos (Al Sharpton, John McEnroe) can distract from the fact that Gary Cooper he ain't.
-
58Mr. Deeds, is -- perhaps predictably -- pretty much of a disaster. It's a bit like someone scrawling a mustache on the Mona Lisa.
