Mr. Deeds

           Between Gary Cooper’s Mr. Deeds Goes to Town and Adam Sandler’s Mr. Deeds, there are many similarities and differences. Both the movies start out with portraying Mr. Deeds living in a small town where everybody knows everybody and Mr. Deeds is famous for something whether its being the lead tuba player in the small town’s band or owning the town’s local pizza joint. 

Both movies, in their own way, also portray deep hard and cold betrayal and rejection that then later turns to light soft and warm love and romance. However, their differences vary. Between Mr. Deeds Goes to Town and Mr. Deeds, Gary Cooper’s Mr. Deeds and Adam Sandler’s Mr. Deeds have it all. So let’s start with the beginning and start comparing and contrasting from there.  Gary Cooper’s Mr. Deeds (as I have said before) was the lead tuba player in the town’s band. However Adam Sandler’s Mr. Deeds owned the town’s pizza joint. Another difference is that both movies have totally different casts of characters and lead roles.

Some similarities are that they both take place through fall to winter. Another similarity is that they both have a Mr. Deeds (of course) and both have a young and beautiful Babe Bennet. They both also have the same hilarious story line; rising action, plot, and falling action.

In my opinion, I liked the one with Adam Sandler the most and not just because it is more modern and in color, but because the cast of actors have a tendency to hold my attention better.
