    • Quotes

      Babe: [reading a poem Deeds wrote for her] "Hard to breathe / Feels like floating / So full of love my heart's exploding. / Mouth is dry / Hands are shaking / My heart is yours for the taking. / Acting weird / Not myself / Dancing around like the Keebler elf. / Finally time / for this poor schlubb / To know how it feels to fall in lub."

      Longfellow Deeds: I couldn't find any other words that rhyme with "schlub..."

      [Babe pulls Deeds towards her and the two kiss for one long moment]

      Babe: Oh, Deeds... oh, I am so sorry...

      [breaks into tears and runs away]

      Longfellow Deeds: No, don't be... I mean, that was my first kiss too...

    An Enjoyable Family Entertainment
    Longfellow Deed (Adam Sandler) is an owner of a pizzeria in a tiny American city who inherits a fortune of forty billion dollars from a distant relative. He moves to New York and there he is chased by the press, searching for information about the newest millionaire in USA. A tabloid reporter (Winona Ryder) gets close to him to get inside information and guess what? Fall in love with him. Although being a predictable plot, this movie is a good family entertainment. Adam Sandler performs his usual role of a naive and good boy. Winona Rider is very beautiful in this movie. I am a fan of her, but I do not remember seeing her so gorgeous like in "Mr. Deeds". "Mr. Deeds" is an enjoyable movie that deserves to be watched and with a good and positive message in the end. My vote is seven.

    Title (Brazil): "A Herança de Mr. Deeds" ("The Inheritance of Mr. Deeds")
