Mr. Deeds
A sweet-natured, small-town guy inherits a controlling stake in a media conglomerate and begins to do business his way. It's a fish out of water, rags to riches story that has local tabloid reporters salivating.

No amount of spastic-colon jokes, cartoon violence or good-buddy cameos (Al Sharpton, John McEnroe) can distract from the fact that Gary Cooper [Sandler] ain't.
