Even though it is a romantic comedy, I was surprised to laugh out loud so often. It helped to contrast the funny parts with scenes that were as tender as cinema has produced, the one most outstanding being the one where Deeds gives Babe her poem. Altogether, the film is a fine promotion of the good souls of the world. Watch it and embrace the good souls around you!

A pure and funny delight from start to finish. Gary Cooper proves that looks and first impressions are usually wrong. A great comedic morality play at the end. A must see.

This is one of Frank Capra's best, and one of the best "feel good" films ever. The performances are outstanding, the writing sublime and one of the best classics ever. Delightful from start to finish.

Mr. Deeds Goes to Town is a surprisingly funny, entertaining, substantive and well-made film, far ahead of its time in 1936. Cooper's character is a practical, small-town man who inherits a $20 million estate from an uncle he barely knew. On visiting New York, he finds himself manipulated by the city's vulturous socialites--a depiction that might seem stereotypical but was shockingly accurate in 1936. Deeds stays true to his beliefs and emerges the victor, but I don't want to ruin the ending for you. Suffice it to say that this charming little film reminds us that truth, simplicity and humility are the foundations of real happiness.
