I liked the storyline (it reminded me of a classic movie, the title of which escapes me at the moment). There seemed to be a lot of filler (hashing and rehashing of topics that were unnecessary), and a lot of holes (disconnects or missing plot elements), but overall I enjoyed this film despite the fact I am a male. Though the two seemingly main characters were males, this clearly was a chick flick, and that makes me wonder about Mr. Perry and just how much or how often he visits his "feminine" side. The movie had the look and feel of a big budget movie, unlike almost ALL of Mr. Perry's other films. I was grateful for that. I found Mr. Perry's acting in "Deeds" a refreshing departure from his usual, matronly facade. (SPOILER) Although, I'm sure even he would admit it is nowhere near Oscar quality. His transformation from uptight conformist to devil may care player was well paced, if not believable. And, less believable was the warp speed jump to and from affection in the portrayed relationships!(END SPOILER) My vote is 7.5. It would have been 8, but I took off half a point for Mr. Perry's precision grooming. He has a gigantic face and in the close-ups, the head and facial hair seem strange (I guess that is why they tell grade schoolers never to get a haircut just before school picture day. Both of the female love interests are extraordinarily beautiful and charming actresses, but it was uncomfortable trying to wrap my mind around a reason they were attracted to Mr. Deeds - money or not. And, what? -- The last scene on the plane was supposed to be a shocker??! Well...do I really need to say it? No. I don't think that I do. Good Job. But you can do better Mr. Perry. I know you will. J
