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

    C'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!!

    Loved it, why is Adam Sandler so looked down upon by critics. Not just this movie but in general.

    Terrible 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!

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

    This was one of the funniest movies I've seen. People took this movie too seriously to see the pure comedy in it.

    Great movie. What's wrong with these critics? It's like they hate everything to do with SNL.

    I 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.

    I 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.

    Adam 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.

    Out of all the Adam Sandler movies I've seen, this one's my favorite. Barely any sexual references, yet funny throughout the entire movie!

    Armed 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.

    Sandler 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.

    Mr. Deeds, is -- perhaps predictably -- pretty much of a disaster. It's a bit like someone scrawling a mustache on the Mona Lisa.
