Everybody's a critic - 'Mr. Deeds'

HHHH

Adam Sandler is growing up. "Mr. Deeds" is a cute and clever movie with heart and substance without all of the gross and juvenile humor that he is sometimes known for.

This is an extremely funny movie, and you have to be sharp and somewhat well read in order to "get" certain references.

Deeds' speech near the end of the movie gives remarkable insight into the human condition (albeit in an irreverent way) and challenges us with the questions, "Would $40 billion change who I am?" and "Would my world be filled with wonder and excitement about all the good I could do for people?" and "Or would I be consumed with greed and the pursuit of money become my purpose in life?"

This movie is an enjoyable way to spend an evening if you enjoy a good comedy.
