MR. DEEDS (Theatrical Release USA 2002)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.4|5.0 Starsìììì

Mr. Deeds becomes a pleasure to watch because of the way it depicts small town life and how a small-town person maintains humanity when introduced to a life quite outside his normal sphere of operation. It is another Adam Sandler, done well. The movie definitely earns its stars as a  teen/adult watch.
