Fans of the classic "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" will be disappointed with this update of the Frank Capra film. At first, I was skeptical of seeing this since I saw the original. I changed my mind and gave it a chance. No one should be surprised of the humor in this Adam Sandler vehicle. What would you expect from Sandler and company. Sandler is Longfellow Deeds, an all-around good guy whose life is changed upon news of his billion dollar inheritance. Business cronies of Deeds's late relative's media empire come to Mandrake Falls to bring Deeds to New York City. They figured a guy as naive as Deeds won't catch on to their scheme. As soon as he arrives in the Big Apple, everyone is anxious to know more about him. Journalist Bennett (Winona Ryder) manages to get close to Deeds by impersonating someone else. Unbeknowst to her, she starts to like him. Fans of the type of humor often found in Sandler's films won't be disappointed. Fans of the original probably won't like it, deeming it a desecration of a classic film. (2/4)
