Adam Sandler is always hit or miss.
I mean he’s usually likable, and his movies always get at least a few laughs, but sometimes they can be pretty weak. LITTLE NICKY comes to mind.
But I’m very happy to report that Mr. Deeds is a really fun movie.
Adam Sandler is very likable in this movie, because he doesn’t try to do a funny voice.
He really should stop with the voices. He’s really funny here, and the story is stupid, simple, and predictable, but it’s very funny.
Winona Ryder is very hot. I dunno if she really is a thief. Or maybe she’s a klepto, but I don’t care. She’s a pretty good actress, and she’s hot!
Peter Gallagher is good as an asshole.
Is he always playing assholes?
Well, he’s good at it.
Erick Avari is a very funny and talented character actor.
And you know I like character actors!
Allen Covert is pretty funny, and I think that it’s cool that he’s in almost all of Sandler’s movies!
The same can be said for Peter Dante, although his "make up" here isn’t very effective.
I think the best thing about this movie is John Turturro, who steals every scene he’s in. He can do serious drama, but he’s very funny too.
I’m rushing through this review because I’m at work and I just snuck a two and a half hour lunch to see this movie. I hope Hollywood appreciates my efforts!
But this is a funny movie.
If you’re expecting Casablanca, well, you’re stupid.
But it’s a good time.
