    Has a couple laugh out loud scene but overall the movie is dumb and poorly acted by Sandler, terrible remake of the original. Fun to watch because it's dumb and silly like most Sandler comedies, John Turturro is hilarious in this one.

    There are so many simply hilarious underlines in this movie. The black foot, the creepy "I'm around every corner butler". Hilarious.

    "Don't let the fancy clothes fool you."

    When Preston Blake (Harve Presnell), a remarkably wealthy media magnate, dies with neither a wife nor children, the question on the lips of most of his associates is who will inherit the estate. The surprising answer turns out to be...( read more) Longfellow Deeds (Adam Sandler), a cheerful but half-bright proprietor of a small-town pizzeria, as well as part-time greeting card poet, who was a distant relative of Blake. In order to claim his 40-billion-dollar inheritance, Deeds heads to New York City, where Blake's former associates, Chuck Cedar (Peter Gallagher) and Cecil Anderson (Erick Avari), introduce him to the city while trying to figure out how to get their hands on his new fortune. Meanwhile, Mac McGrath (Jared Harris), the producer of a sleazy tabloid television show, wants to get the inside scoop on Deeds, and comes up with perfect way to get it: he sends beautiful but unscrupulous reporter Babe Bennett (Winona Ryder) to sweep Deeds off his feet while she's wired for sound. Convincing Deeds that she's from a small town just like himself, Bennett quickly wins his heart, but while his affection is sincere, hers is not. He also displays a curious eagerness to defend her good name with his fists which quickly gets him in trouble. Meanwhile, as Deeds becomes the new laughing stock of New York thanks to Bennett's stories, Deeds decides it's time he did something big with his money, while Cedar and Anderson think they've finally found a way to take control of Deeds' holdings.

    I was bored by this movie. The only reason this film was made is Adam Sandler, and that's just not reason enough. As funny as Adam Sandler can be, this movie is devoid of an original plotline, credibility, and the jokes aren't all that funny to my taste. It looks like an attempt to create a crazy zany fun-filled comedy gone mundane. That's just what this film is - mundane. The jokes were of very low quality, and to my taste simply not funny.

    Another rom com for Adam Sandler. His character inherits a lot of dosh and a share of a huge media company. He falls for Winona Ryder, but can she tell him who she really is? Adam is always adorable.

    I think this is my favorite Adam Sandler movie. It manages not to be as crass as a lot of his other ones and yet somehow still manages to be funny.
