When Longfellow Deeds, a small-town pizzeria owner and poet, inherits $40 billion from his deceased uncle, he quickly begins rolling in a different kind of dough. Moving to the big city, Deeds finds himself besieged by opportunists all gunning for their piece of the pie. Babe, a television tabloid reporter, poses as an innocent small-town girl to do an exposé on Deeds.

Movie Reviews:

• Kamurai: Decent watch, could watch again, and can recommend.
• This has all the hallmarks, and cast, of most typical Happy Madison productions, but with a lot of money involved, both in the characters and the production value. I think this is the movie where John McEnroe started getting involved.
• The character work in this is either drastically good or drastically bad, and they definitely experimented with some ideas they had in the backlog.
• The “rags to riches” trope crossed with the “NYC is a cesspool of money corruption” trope is actually inspired. There is a great script in this movie, behind all the Sandler style humor, but that humor does make it fun, I just wish there was an adjustable setting sometimes.
• Ultimately anything that isn’t funny or charming in this is brief enough that you can overlook it pretty easily.
• Andre Gonzales: I love Adam Sandler movies. This one is another favorite. A hick guy finds out he just inherited millions. Very funny movie, sneaky sneaky sir! Never underestimate the sneakiness.
