(1 - 37) of 37 OFCS Rating: 16% Rotten Page   1   "What would I do if I inherited forty billion dollars? First of all, buy out Adam Sandler's contract and put him in more movies like 'The Wedding Singer.'"   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 1/5 "Although the premise opens doors to many comic opportunities, the film resorts to cheap, random jokes that do not grant Sander the right material to explore."   NutzWorld   Blake French 9/10 "You'll laugh, hard too, and in this world, why would you want to turn down an opportunity like that?"   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf "It's all a saggy, inept mess."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2.5/4 "Sandler is back to form in a movie that has its share of over-the-top moments, but is likable for its underlyingly sweet love story."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 2/4 "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town updated for the Big Daddy crowd."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez D "An unfunny, careless piece of trash riddled with directorial, editing and acting mistakes."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3/4 "Fans can rejoice that Mr. Deeds is a close third behind Happy Gilmore and The Wedding Singer on Sandler’s list of quality credits."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress D "Adam Sandler is not funny. Nothing he does is funny. His movies, with a couple exceptions, aren't funny."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2/4 "The only saving grace about Mr. Deeds is its functioning as a wise and timely cliche': money can't buy everything--especially for a clunky comedy with no spirit or no spark."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng F "A surrealistically bad movie, one of those astonishing clunkers you watch agape at its awfulness."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/4 "This is very much of a mixed bag, with enough negatives to outweigh the positives."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 1.5/4 "just another dumbed-down comedy, although it aspires to social satire"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 1/5 "Adam Sandler comedy is more of -- and less than -- his previous "little guy makes good" films."   Netflix   James Rocchi 3/10 "In addition to the lame retreading of the original film's underlying fish out of water plot, the performances help sink this effort."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 5/10 "..there were a lot of elements in the film which just didn't work at all.."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo "Every joke, every emotion, every character quirk is over manufactured."   Light Views   John Larsen 4/10 "It's all over. We're doomed. Hightail it to a bomb shelter, if you can find one. Otherwise, just insert your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 2/5 "No good deed goes unpunished - and punishment you shall feel after watching Mr. Deeds."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 2/4 "... nicely fills the void between special-effects blockbusters and predicatable thrillers while still being something you can send your kids to."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 2/4 "I can’t recommend it except to die-hard Sandler fans, and even they will have to admit that this is one of his lesser efforts."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B- "Turturro is fabulously funny and over the top as a 'very sneaky' butler who excels in the art of impossible disappearing/reappearing acts"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 6/10 "Boba. Sosa e innocua hasta morir..."   Cinenganos   Luis Martinez 1.5/5 "This is a terrible movie in its own right, tasteless and condescending -- if Sandler's character is an Everyman, than the Everyman of today is a boorish jackass."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2.5/4 "There’s a sense of genuine, naive good will accompanying the material that almost, but not quite, makes up for the far more than occasional lapses of successful comedy."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 2/4 "Mr. Deeds could have used another round of editing and some beefed up comedy"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 2/4 "Click to read review"   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 2/5 "Sandler barely expends any energy trotting out the "average dude who shakes up stodgy high society" schtick, and director Steven Brill and scripter Tim Herlihy follow lazy suit."   Film Threat   Michael Dequina 2/4 "Films like Big Daddy and The Waterboy aggravated me by being actively obnoxious; Mr. Deeds is merely bland."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 2/5 "I may be too old for Adam Sandler movies, but it seems to me that he’s getting too old for them, too."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/5 "A very stupid film that's almost watchable but doesn't really have any reason to exist."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline - "“Mr. Deeds” is suitable summer entertainment that offers escapism without requiring a great deal of thought."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 1/5 "Directed with the panache that only the creator of The Mighty Ducks can bring to your project, Mr. Deeds is a poorly made and charmless affair."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg 2/5 "Yes, the acting is atrocious (possibly the worst I've seen this year), the romantic chemistry non-existent and the morality struggle endured by Ryder's reporter laughably manufactured."   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 2.5/4 "Just another Sandler movie, nothing more, nothing less."   sbs.is   Stefan Birgir Stefansson 3/10 "This heavy-handed, dimwitted, dumbed-down version can't decide whether it's a parody, a slapstick comedy or sappy romance. Rent "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town.""   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 0.5/4 "The picture is a primer on what happens when lack of know-how mixes with lack of give-a-damn."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw  (1 - 37) of 37 OFCS Rating: 16% Rotten Page   1
