Mr. Deeds

2002 · 97 min

A goofy, good-natured fish-out-of-water comedy where small-town niceness takes on big-city greed, easy to watch and warm underneath the silliness.

Overview
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.
