Mr Deeds tells the story of a small town guy (Adam Sandler) who inherits a $40 billion fortune from his deceased uncle. He promptly moves to the big city where he meets Babe Bennett (Winona Ryder) a tabloid reporter, who poses as a small town girl to uncover an exposé on Mr Deeds. Conniving opportunists attempt to get their hands on his money, while Deeds' sincere naiveté has Babe falling in love with him. Ultimately, Deeds comes to find that money truly has the power to change things, but it doesn't necessarily need to change him.
