DVD Verdict (Norman Short)
It's ludicrous to even consider trying this film, the stars, or its director. The disc gets a commendation as well. Columbia continues to offer great value for the movie buff who wants the greats of vintage film. ...read the complete Mr. Deeds Goes to Town movie review at DVD Verdict (Norman Short)

Gary Cooper is dry as dust (despite being "eccentric" -- he ...read the complete Mr. Deeds Goes to Town movie review at filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)
