Details: Product description Vertical Horizon ~ Mr. Deeds Amazon.ca The mellow soundtrack to the Adam Sandler movie Mr. Deeds bears little resemblance to the raunchy persona the actor exhibits on his music/comedy albums. Instead, the midtempo love-struck rock ballads on the disc reflect Sandler's Wedding Singer-style sensitive side. U2 and Lit contribute senior prom-worthy slow dancers laden with weepy strings, while banjo-happy Travis and a summery Weezer song further the breezy atmosphere. The new cuts fare even better--Dave Matthews Band's heartfelt, subdued anthem and Counting Crows' jangly, R.E.M.-like upbeat rocker are highlights, as is Ben Kweller's piece of doe-eyed, melodic piano pop. The only puzzling part of the album is the inclusion of tracks from David Bowie (complete with an irritating spoken-word intro from Sandler), Pete Townshend, and Yes. Though the sterling quality of such classic music is obvious, their vintage nature is an odd exercise in forced diversity within the sea of modern music. Nevertheless, Mr. Deeds, while a little plain, is ultimately inoffensive and easy on the ears. --Annie Zaleski
