 MR DEEDS
Director Steven Brill states, "This is not really a movie about a man changing. Deeds doesn't go from bad guy to redeemed guy. He is who he is all the way through--a great, charming guy. He has a crisis of faith because he doesn't trust his heart, but he is always within himself and knows who he is. "

CD SOUNDTRACK |
 Mr. Deeds
Various Artists - Soundtrack - 2002
The mellow soundtrack to the Adam Sandler movie Mr. Deeds bears little resemblance to the raunchy persona the actor exhibits on his music/comedy albums. Instead, the midtempo love-struck rock ballads on the disc reflect Sandler's Wedding Singer-style sensitive side. U2 and Lit contribute senior prom-worthy slow dancers laden with weepy strings, while banjo-happy Travis and a summery Weezer song further the breezy atmosphere. The new cuts fare even better--Dave Matthews Band's heartfelt, subdued anthem and Counting Crows' jangly, R.E.M.-like upbeat rocker are highlights, as is Ben Kweller's piece of doe-eyed, melodic piano pop. The only puzzling part of the album is the inclusion of tracks from David Bowie (complete with an irritating spoken-word intro from Sandler), Pete Townshend, and Yes. Though the sterling quality of such classic music is obvious, their vintage nature is an odd exercise in forced diversity within the sea of modern music. Nevertheless, Mr. Deeds, while a little plain, is ultimately inoffensive and easy on the ears. --Annie Zaleski

SYNOPSIS
Don't let the fancy clothes fool you |
| Longfellow Deeds (Adam Sandler) is a sweet, lovable guy leading a simple but happy life in the tiny hamlet of Mandrake Falls, New Hampshire. Deeds is admired by the locals who crowd into his pizzeria to hear him recite his offbeat (but hilarious) greeting card poetry.
Life is good at the small town restaurant until two corporate fancy execs bring news that Deeds is about to be rolling in a different kind of dough. A long lost relative has left him an inheritance of forty billion dollars along with the largest media company in the world, a football team, a basketball team, and a private helicopter ready to whisk him off to corporate America.
It's a fish out of water, rags to riches story that has local tabloid reporters, including Babe Bennett (Winona Ryder), salivating. With the help of his trusty valet Emilio (John Turturro), Deeds ultimately discovers what life is really all about and has to prove that money changes everything...but not everyone.
