Reviews


75
Boston Globe - Wesley Morris
Armed with a dinner theater accent and hair that looks like an LP melted on his head, Turturro pockets the picture. As a demonstration of his newly accessed maturity and benevolence, Sandler helps him do it.
75
Miami Herald - Connie Ogle
Surprisingly sweet and, dare we say it, old-fashioned, with an engaging sense of humor that's a definite improvement on lame, lowbrow efforts such as "Little Nicky."
58
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - William Arnold
Mr. Deeds, is -- perhaps predictably -- pretty much of a disaster. It's a bit like someone scrawling a mustache on the Mona Lisa.

ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Mr. Deeds is flat, except on those rare occasions when Sandler reverts to form or when John Turturro steals one of many scenes.
50
New York Post - Lou Lumenick
Sporadically funny, dumbed-down version.
