Mr. Deeds is a film that falls short of expectations according to many critics.

IMDb gives Mr. Deeds a rating of 5.8/10, highlighting its mixed reception among audiences. Rotten Tomatoes rates the film at a low 22%, with critics pointing out the lack of originality and depth in the storyline. Metacritic echoes similar sentiments with a rating of 24/100, citing the film's reliance on clichés and formulaic humor. Despite some humorous moments and Sandler's charm, Mr. Deeds fails to leave a lasting impact and is deemed a forgettable addition to the actor's filmography.
