Longfellow Deeds is played by Adam Sandler in the 2002 film, which is a remake of the 1936 classic "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town." After inheriting a vast fortune, Deeds moves from his small town of Mandrake Falls, New Hampshire, to New York City. He is immediately recognized as the heir to the fortune and is swarmed by reporters and lawyers trying to get their hands on his newfound wealth.
One of those reporters is Babe Bennett (played by Winona Ryder), who poses as a small-town girl to get a story on Deeds. As she spends more time with him, however, she begins to develop feelings for him and starts to question the ethics of her job. Meanwhile, the lawyers managing Deeds' finances have their own agenda, as they try to convince him to sign over the majority of his inheritance to them.
Despite the chaos that surrounds him, Deeds remains steadfast in his belief in the goodness of people and uses his wealth to make a positive impact on those around him. He donates money to charity, buys a new red Corvette for a fellow pizza parlor owner, and even pays for a street performer's hospital bills.
In the end, Babe reveals her true identity to Deeds, who is understandably hurt but comes to understand her motives. The two reconcile and Deeds decides to use his wealth to start a non-profit organization to help people in need, with Babe at his side as an ally.
Overall, "Mr. Deeds" is a heartwarming and funny film about the importance of staying true to oneself and using one's wealth for the greater good.
