Loosely based on Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, Mr. Deeds is about a regular, friendly guy (Sandler) from a small town who inherits $40 billion after his great uncle, whom he never knew, dies from freezing to death climbing a mountain. His great uncle owned a giant business based in New York City that ran multiple tv and radio stations. Deeds goes to New York with some corrupt employees and becomes romantically involved with a producer from a news station that shares every detail she can about him, and subsequently makes him look bad. He learns what she really is just as she decides to tell him the truth, they fall out, he goes home, she follows him, he goes back to New York to save the company from the corrupt businessmen, and then learns that the real heir to the fortune was his great uncles illegitimate son, the butler.
Mr. Deeds is a very typical Sandler film. Some time of romantic comedy that's more male humor than it is romance, but somehow works. You could probably guess the premise of the film before watching it. Mr. Deeds is a cute film, you smile at the end and there's some weird-o twist. I would definitely recommend this to some teenage couples. 5/10.
Mr. Deeds currently holds a 22% critic rating and a 65% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
