Movie Reviews

Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) - 10/10 by Bob BloomA wonderful Capra vehicle; Cooper is superb; Arthur luminous. A comic movie with heart and a point to make. True Capra-corn, and that is not a criticism. A fine example of populist art.
Filmcritic.com - 10/10 by Christopher NullThe tedium of Mr. Deeds Goes to Town outweighs its message of freedom and charity.
Cinemania - 8/10 by Dan JardinePlaying the part as if born to it, Cooper is at the top of his game, imbuing Deeds with just the right blend of empathy and intelligence.
The Nation - 8/10 by Mark Van DorenMr. Deeds is really a very intelligent and beautiful affair, a film no less charming than Mr. Capra's It Happened One Night at the same time that it is definitely more profound.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyCapra advocates populism and egalitarianism, underlined by values of Christianity. For him, every person is "God's creation" in his/her own right, evert person possesses some talent and should do his/her best with that gift.
Tim Dirks' The Greatest Films - 7/10 by Tim DirksMr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936) is another lighthearted classic Frank Capra screwball romantic-comedy regarding the broader philosophical themes of individual innocence
The Blu Spot - 6/10 by Jeff BeckFrank Capra's Mr. Deeds Goes to Town features a pair of great performances from Gary Cooper and Jean Arthur, and a story that is partially compelling, but it's ultimately let down by an overlong runtime that the film isn't able to sustain.
User Review - 10/10 by Jamie CLOVE it. MUCH better than Mr. Deeds with Adam Sandler!!
User Review - 10/10 by Russell GStill packs a wallop, and the themes are still valid, making this one as current and brave as anything Hollywood is currently putting out. My favorite Cooper role.
User Review - 10/10 by Adam HMr. Deeds has to be the most charming character ever invented. Ya know, I think he actually (barely) tops Jimmy Stewart in "Harvey," something I never thought would happen. ^_^ My favourite movie of all time.
