Comment: Preview at UCLA (May 5, 2002) - This film has some funny lines, and features a plot similar in seriousness to "Big Daddy". Since I was warned that this movie was made by the same people who did that movie, I was not expecting much. Adam Sandler plays Longfellow Deeds, a great-nephew to one of the world's richest men who happens to die at the beginning of the movie. Deeds inherits 40 billion dollars, but since he's from a small unknown town in New Hampshire, he does not see the need to have so much money. He is betrayed by a woman who tells him she's a small town girl and claims to love him, but it turns out she's only a desperate news reporter trying to get a story. The ending is cute though.and there are a ton of typical Sandler gags.many of them funny.including his often seen violent temper. If you're looking to watch a light comedy with Sandler on par with Big Daddy and Waterboy, this movie shouldn't disappoint you. But it's no Wedding Singer.
