Review of Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936) by Bulan ' — 02 Aug 2006

"Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" is a classic Frank Capra film that is both entertaining and heartwarming. I enjoyed every minute of this flim and would recommend it to anyone, anywhere, anytime. My heart grows very sad whenever I think that this great movie was remade by Adam Sandler, who, no doubt ruined it. I don't want to see his version of it, because I like the memory of this film, and I am sure Sandler would ruin it for me, just like he sucks away all of the happiness out of any film he does.

This version of the film is just inspiring, it is perfect in every way. They don't make films like this anymore, partly because of all of the imbeciles who think that Adam Sandler is funny, and partly because the world has moved so far away from anything wholesome, this kind of movie rarely pops up. But, even when a good wholesome film pops up today it can hardly hold a candle to the old classics.

This movie has a great story, it has wonderful characters, and like all of Capra's films, a great script. It just seems to me that if we were still making films like this, I wouldn't have to rent a classic every time that I want something decent to watch. I know that there still are many great movies out there today, but can they really compare?
