I saw Deeds tonight and I was disappointed. I can sum up the movie's biggest problem by going to the Gospel of Homer and reciting three words "Be More Funny."
Seriously, where was the comedy in this film? I don't see Adam Sandler movies for the best acting, the most creative direction, the most heartwrenching dialogue or ground breaking effects. I see them to laugh at the most inane things but LAUGH!!! In this latest Sandler installment, for some reason they decided to cut that out. Yes they had funny moments and the usual eccentric characters (John Tuturro being the best in that) but there were multiple scenes without any laughs or ATTEMPTS at laughs. That was the worst thing in it, they seemed to forget to attempt. It doesn't need to make sense or need to work but just throw so many jokes at us that we laugh through the ones that don't work. We don't need to see a cutesy montage but throw a midget riding a unicycle, SOMETHING that could appeal to the humor side of us.
"The Hudsucker Proxy" did the same thing in 94 but better in every single way.
