On the outside MR. DEEDS looks like another predictable remake, with absolutely nothing new to offer. On the inside, you guessed right. It has next to no substance, no creativity, almost to the point where you can predict the entire fate of the movie a quarter of the way in. My best friend and I did so and were not surprised. But we did enjoy the movie. The characters are all a delight, in a childish way. And it did have its moments.
Multi-millionaire tycoon dies, leaves his grand-nephew the fortune.
Adam Sandler repeats many things that he did in other movies, with different characters, situations, etc. But for a remake, this is a fairly good one and a better outing for the star compared to LITTLE NICKY. The new version of SPACE ODDITY was cute, if not from left field. A good renter though it may not appeal to everyone.
