What would you do If you suddenly inherited 20 million dollars? Longfellow Deeds' answer to this question: give it away! In Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, Frank Capra presents a good-hearted, eccentric, simple character who is underestimated by those who would jump at the chance to take advantage of him to get a piece of his recent windfall. This is one of my favorite Capra films. It confronts the ubiquitous materialism of the 20th century with a radically simple idea: be content with what you have and do something to make a difference in the lives of others. Although the film portrays excessive drinking and its accompanying stupid behavior, it also demonstrates that there are resulting consequences. This is a timeless film that seems as relevant today as ever before. It has the makings for some very significant family discussions with tweens and teens. Pop some popcorn and enjoy this one together!
