Mr. vs. Mr. Maybe Adam Sandler ruined Mr. Deeds for me, but I didn't appreciate Mr. Deeds Goes To Town as much as I wanted to, despite the fact that I love Frank Capra. Mr. Blandings though is a strong comedy, one that came close to life, since my family's house took forever to build as well. Blandings, you beat Deeds.

Luckily I've never seen the Adam Sandler remake of Mr. Deeds, so I'm able to judge the original completely on its own merits. It's not Capra's most polished picture, but it's got a lot of heart, as well as Gary Cooper at his very best. Mr. Blandings was pleasant but not nearly as riotously funny as I had been told. Deeds takes it.

Really, Adam Sandler's Mr. Deeds is an remake for Mr. Deeds Goes to Town ? Mr. Deeds Goes to Town was an ok Capra's film, and very enjoyable, i think wins this one, but Mr. Blandings was funny and entertaining, not very much, but was.
