Featured review
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.
