On 2010-07-28 Andrew Ellington, I´m kind of everywhere wrote: Part of me really hates Adam Sandler. It´s a pretty big part, and yet this little part that keeps kicking me in the ribs tells me that he has his moments and when he has them they are really good. Sadly, outside of ´50 First Dates´ (which rested largely on the capable shoulders of my beau Drew Barrymore), Sandler hasn´t gotten anything right since the late 90´s (remember with fondness when his goofball shtick was new and cool and produced hilarity like `Happy Gilmore´ and `Big Daddy´). While this borderline train wreck is no where near as atrocious as `Little Nicky´, it is far less inspired and far duller by comparison. The gags are hit and miss, and when they hit they barely register with a chuckle. In fact, I remember laughing out loud ONCE in the theater (during the `mo fo´ instant message) and upon reflection it´s really not that funny. Sandler plays his usual buffoon with a heart of gold and Winona Ryder is as cliché as they come (she needs to make a REAL comeback soon, before everyone forgets she ever existed and her clone, Natalie Portman, takes over completely). Everything about the foot fetishist butler is cringe worthy (I mean AWFUL). This is a snooze, but whatever, it´s Sandler...you kind of have to expect to hate most of what he does by now.. And summed up by saying I laughed once.... Currently Mr. Deeds (Widescreen Special Edition) has an overall rating of 6 over 10.
