Mr. Deeds (2002)

How much can you stomach in the way of cheap comments about what you do and how you do it in order to maintain a polite veneer? Longfellow Deeds (Adam Sandler) is at dinner with several New York cognoscenti when his poetry as a part-time greeting card writer is mocked. He is too polite to react as he’s in the company of Babe Bennett (Winona Ryder) but when she says she thinks they deserve what’s coming to them. He turns around and punches one out, slams another’s head into a table and drops a third through a table before paying off for the damages.
