मिस्टर डीड्स

I wanted to comment on the stupidity of some people. I saw this in the Goofs.

Continuity: At the press conference, when Emilio is told he is the sole heir, he is standing on a balcony. In the shot immediately after it, he suddenly appears at the podium.

This was listed as a Goof. I don't think the person that wrote this watched the whole movie. If they did, they would not have under estimate the sneakiness of Emilio. He pops-up many time throughout the movie like this. It's what makes him funny in this COMEDY! If you have seen the movie you would know that Emilio is very very sneaky. So this was not a mistake. Duh!

Just watched this movie last night and the final verdict is: I loved it. Idk what all these other people be talking about. The character of Deeds is so incredibly likable and admirable and the film genuinely had me laughing in some points. Don't listen to the others hating on this film. Everyone should go watch it and decide for themselves because in my opinion, he film is genuinely super fun.

COMEDY: The comedy in this film is fair. It could be better for a movie labeled "comedy" however it's not enough to ruin the movie. Beside this, there are three or four moments that had me cracking up.

PLOT/SUBSTANCE: This movie's plot is fairly easy to understand and it works well for the movie. The plot is not bad nor great, it's just enough to push the film along and I think it fits great. When writing this category, I ask myself what would you have left if you took out all the comedic moments and characters and yes, I think the plot would hold up. It may not be very interesting, but luckily we have comedy and characters in the final product.

CHARACTERS: Now, this is the real saving grace of this film. For the most part, Deeds himself. He is one of the most lovable characters I've seen on screen in a long time. He is just a genuinely good guy and tbh I wish I could be more like him and I wish there were more people in the world like him. All the other characters really just make him better. It's seeing how they interact with a character as well done and as purely good as deeds on it's own, that really makes this movie worth watching. And Adam Sandler's performance just drives it home. Perfect casting right there. Y'all are some idiots if you don't like this bro like wth?

THEMES: Man, the movie's got heart. I don't know what else to say. The movie has heart all the way through, usually brought to the screen by Deeds, but throughout the movie and his acts, he makes the characters around him better and this is honestly phenomenally fun to watch and it really makes you feel better as a person and look at what is around you and just be grateful.

SEE THIS DAMN MOVIE! I BET YOU WONT REGRET IT!

This is certainly an Adam Sandler movie. Doesn't stray too far from the formula.

This was a funny movie, with many, many laughs. I must say, John Tuturro (sp) stole the movie. He was just "on" through his entire part!

This is not even close to the original (thank goodness) but still an enjoyable 90+ minutes.

Mr. Deeds is very similar to many other Adam Sandler films. The film follows a basic and predictable formula. Many of the comedian's reliable standards are in effect: abuse of old folks, crude humor, a Rob Schneider appearance, and mentally deficient sidekicks. Some of the stuff works, but there's not much room for originality. This movie even perpetuates Sandler's trend of playing guys who are unexpectedly good at dishing out beatings.

Many have considered Mr. Deeds to be one of Adam Sandler's more underrated films, and in several ways it is. However the film is typical but entertaining in some areas. It is a decent comedy, and the humor is what one would expect from a Sandler film.

Longfellow Deeds (Adam Sandler) is a small town guy who is taken to the big city when he learns he has an inheritance of $40 billion from a long lost uncle. He has to adjust to life in a Palatial Mansion with a personal butler, and he meets a beautiful school nurse (Winona Ryder); but its not long before the money begins to change everything, and he learns things are not what they seem.

This remake is not without plenty of laughs, but it never quite manages to do anything thats truly hilarious or new. For a bit of fun its worth a watch, but it's one of those films that you will forget about pretty quickly.

6/10 its just average i'm afraid
