Revealing mistake: When Deeds rescues the last cat from the fire, if you look closely, you can see the fire-proof glove he has on his hand. (00:50:45)
Mr. Deeds (2002)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Steven Brill
Starring: Adam Sandler, Steve Buscemi, Winona Ryder, John Turturro, Peter Gallagher, Allen Covert
Deeds shows up at the stockholders' meeting and gives a rousing speech convincing everyone except for Chuck Cedar to not pass the bill, but Cedar controls 51%, so it doesn't matter. But then Babe shows up with Preston Blake's diary and a work shift schedule and some startling news: it turns out the butler, Amilio, is the heir to billions left behind, not Deeds. Amilio fires Cedar and he's taken out by security. He gives Deeds 1 billion dollars. Deeds goes back to Mandrake Falls with Babe and gives the entire town all new Corvettes.

Murph: Look at Deedsy haning out with McEnroe! That's awesome.
Crazy Eyes: I love the Beach Boys.
Trivia: Sticking with the To Kill A Mockingbird references, in the scene where Deeds and Pam are outside of Pam's "apartment" and the old lady and dog walk out. She calls the lady "Mrs. Finch" and the dog "Atticus". Atticus Finch was the main characters name in To Kill A Mockingbird.
Question: This is a two-part question: 1. How does Winona Ryder get hold of the journal of Sandler's uncle? 2. Why'd she dye her hair?

Answer: Babe Bennett stole Preston Blake's journal from Longfellow Deeds. As for why she dyed her hair, it was probably part of her disguise. She was a TV journalist pretending to be someone else (as Pam Dawson) so she could get a story on Longfellow.
