Mr. Deeds (2002)
7/10
Adam Sandler playing a lovable goofball = $$$$$$$$$$$$
9 February 2008
Warning: Spoilers
"Mr Deeds" tells the fictional story (although i guess it could happen in real life) of country hick Longfellow Deeds (Sandler, who stretches himself and plays a lovable goofball) who inherits billions of dollars from a distant uncle. To seal the deal he must go to New York to do all the paperwork. While here he discovers some people are mean and try to take advantage of people. Will Deeds be screwed over and left with nothing? See it to find out (or watch another Sandler movie and take a wild guess).

Has its moments, and has some great scenes and lines, but it's no Oscar candidate (this was later proved when it wasn't nominated for an Oscar). Some great work by the supporting cast, most notably Steve Buscemi and John Turturro. Not bad, some good quirky laughs to be had.
