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 pie.Babe, a television tabloid reporter, poses as an innocent small-town girl to do an exposé on Deeds. Of course, Deeds' sincere naiveté has Babe falling in love with him instead.Ultimately, Deeds comes to find that money truly has the power to change things, but it doesn't necessarily need to change him....So the thing is about this film, is that it's been done time and time again by Sandler. He plays the nice guy against the odds, who meets a nice girl, but has a lot of obstacles to overcome, usually in the shape of very rich people.But these films work on so many levels. Not because of the story or the flow of the narrative, it's the random characters and their traits, that distract the viewer from the story, and just deliver the big laughs.There is nothing original in the story, but the fact that a tennis player can jump 15 or so feet in the air, an opera singer sings as he is being beaten up, John Tuturro being sneaky, just makes for the film to so silly, you cannot help but laugh.And laugh I did. It's one of Sandlers best films, and despite the fact his movies are gradually diminishing in quality, you cannot help but smile.It's a big fat sunshine movie, full of joy, and guaranteed to make you laugh.Don't be a snob, let yourself go....

Adam Sandler's Mr Deeds is a modern take on Frank Capra's classic. As I haven't seen the original, I can't form a comparison and this may be just as well.This story of a small-town innocent who inherits a vast fortune (by way of a controlling interest in a multi-national conglomerate) and then wins people over by way of his inherent niceness, showcases some but not all of Sandler's trademarks. Thankfully, it avoids smut, bad language, and loving discussion of private parts. But it dips into violent slapstick, and it drowns in glutinous sentimentality.A good cast is largely wasted (the exception being John Turturro's very funny Emilio). There are smiles but few laughs, and little believability.Pretty typical Sandler from his "family" oriented output.

Apparently Adam Sandler dedicated this remake of the 1936 classic to his late grandmother. Now I can admire that, really I can, especially when the 1936 classic was her favourite film. But someone needs to tell Sandler that good intentions don't always make a good film. The ambition is there, but the film just isn't that great, not as pointless or as awful as the remakes to Psycho or the Wicker Man(which was unintentionally hilarious) I admit but sorry this wasn't good. There are one or two good things, such as the soundtrack, striking scenery and John Tuturro's turn as the Spanish butler. However, the script is cloying and lacking in wit, the direction is uninspired and the story is too saccharine and simplistic. Then in terms of acting, Adam Sandler gives one of his more unlikeable performances(I liked him in The Wedding Singer, 50 First Dates and Spanglish though found him irritating here and in Click) and Winona Ryder while she looks lovely forgets her acting lessons. Overall, has its good points but it isn't great. 4/10 Bethany Cox
