-Adam
Sandler
-Winona
Ryder
Longfellow
Deeds
(Adam
Sandler)
is
content
to
run
his
pizzeria
in
the
cozy
New
Hampshire
hamlet
of
Mandrake
Falls.
His
only
further
desire
is
to
someday
see
one
of
his
corny
rhymes
printed
in a
greeting
card.
Deeds
is
awarded
much
more
when
he
inherits
the
$40
billion
empire
of a
media
tycoon,
a
distant
relative.
He
is
lured
to
New
York
City
by
unscrupulous
partners
of
the
deceased
where
he
is
preyed
upon
by
greedy
stockholders.
He
also
makes
ample
fodder
for
tabloid
journalists,
notably
reporter
Babe
Bennett
(Winona
Ryder)
who
poses
as a
school
nurse
from
Iowa
to
win
Deed's
heart
and
expose
him
as
an
idiot
to
her
viewership.
Against
her
will
and
her
own
sleazy
principles,
Babe
falls
for
the
charming
naivety
of
Deeds,
whose
fortune
is
in
jeopardy.
Adam
Sandler's
man-child
persona
stands
in
for
Gary
Cooper
in
this
remake
of
the
1936
MR.
DEEDS
GOES
TO
TOWN.
Sandler
and
longtime
collaborator
Tim
Herlihy
have
molded
the
Frank
Capra
romantic
comedy
into
a
perfect
vehicle
for
its
star
and
a
love
letter
to
New
York
City.
Jared
Harris
as a
tabloid
TV
host
and
John
Turturro
as
an
omnipresent
Spanish
butler
shine
in
supporting
roles.
