Critics' reviews

"There's no chemistry between Deeds and Babe, but then how could there be, considering that their characters have no existence, except as the puppets in scenes of plot manipulation (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"A comedy that makes watching paint dry seem hilarious by comparison."

Desson Howe: The Washington Post
"It's not just that the movie itself is wicked awful, it's that Mr. Deeds brings out the worst in Adam Sandler (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"Mr. Deeds is flat, except on those rare occasions when Sandler reverts to form or when John Turturro steals one of many scenes."

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
"Surprisingly sweet and, dare we say it, old-fashioned."

Connie Ogle: Miami Herald
"What's most interesting about this new film is how lacking it is in any of the things, from humor to emotion to halfway decent acting, we might go to a movie for."

Kenneth Turan: Los Angeles Times
"The star and his numbskull cronies piss on Capra's grave with acrid insincerity."
