A világon minden ember gazdag akar lenni. Longfellow Deeds (Adam Sandler) kivétel: ő csupán arra vágyik, hogy gyermeteg versikéit üdvözlőlapok hátára nyomtassák. Egyébként szereti a csendes kisvárost, ahol él és a zsúfolt pizzériát, amelyből éldegél. Egy nap Deeds kénytelen elmenni a nagyvárosba, hogy átvegye 40 milliárd dolláros örökségét, melyet soha nem látott, elfeledett nagybácsikája hagyott rá. A pökhendi városlakók persze ki akarják semmizni a vagyonából, vagy el akarják csábítani a vagyonáért, vagy információkat szeretnének kicsalni belőle a vagyonáról. Szerencsére a jövevényt sem ejtették ám a feje lágyára. (RTL Klub)

A wonderful Sandler flick that manages to squeeze everything possible from the dime-a-dozen story. Plus we get the gorgeous Winona Ryder and excellent cameos from John Turturro and Steve Buscemi + a great story about Stephen King. And the twist at the end is totally unexpected. :-)

This pleasant rom-com is clearly dominated by Adam Sandler's boorish style of comedy, which makes me happy to turn a blind eye to the classic ending full of clichés; and for the heap of effective humour, the more than likeable Winona Ryder and that pleasant hour and a half I give it a full rating... With hindsight I'm taking away a star, five-star films look different after all.

I haven't seen the original film from the 1930s, but it certainly doesn't has as many bizarre characters as this early millennium adaptation. Mr. Deeds both stands and falls on those characters and the situations they get themselves into. Most of the inhabitants of Deeds's little town – except perhaps for Conchata Ferrell's spunky and buxom pizzeria helper – were more or less out of place; the New York cast wasn't much better – though I enjoyed John Turturro's "master of appearing and disappearing" Emilio. The main character's good-naturedness with the universally tolerable Adam Sandler seemed shoddy in places, perhaps similar to Winona Ryder's confused meanness, but their relationship felt quite endearing nonetheless. Either way, this obscure vibe that Brill's film is brimming with is the main reason I return to Mr. Deeds every once in a while.

Adam Sandler in this movie is somewhat restrained in his performance. It is evident that this role was intended to be portrayed a little differently. He still plays a rough character, but he is no longer in any way retarded, and on the other hand, he doesn't overdo it as much. An interesting moment is the fact that it is not him who has to make things right, but this responsibility is transferred to someone else. Great characters, especially portrayed by Torturra or Buscemi.
