The Feel Good Film of the Decade
Jerry Maguire is the feel-good film of the decade. The unforgettable characters and script will leave you with a smile on your face at the end of the film most definately! It's about a sports agent (played brilliantly by Tom Cruise) who realizes he hates his place in the world during one lonely night. He writes up a huge memo (mission statement) on how we should and should not act in the agent business, which triggers multiple cheers from his peers. This however gets him fired, and him, his fish, and one of his co-workers (the cute Renee Zellwegger) leave with him to start their own company. The film is one of the best of the past decade, and that kid is just too great.

This DVD is bareboned, no extra features at all, but the transfer is one of the best ones I've seen on a DVD. December is the date where "Jerry Maguire" Special Edition comes out though, so I would wait for that one which will contain many extras. Great film, but if you wanna purchase it, wait 'till December when the SE is available.

Show Me The Extras ! ! !
This film is definitely what I would call a feel good movie. I came away from it feeling that there are decent people in this world and that we are not all disappearing into the obscurity of just a name on a piece of paper.

The story follows Jerry Maguire, played by Tom Cruise, falling from grace working for a sports star agency when he has a flash of inspiration and takes the moral high ground on the way people should be treat within the company. His eventual rise to becoming a better person is aided from the love of woman and her son and the realization that everyone who he represents should be treated with the same respect.

The person that stole the show for me was Cuba Gooding Jr. Every scene he was in made me laugh. This was the first movie I had seen him in and thought he was a terrific actor, deserved of the Oscar he won for Best Supporting Actor. The "Show Me The Money" scene will have you in stitches.

This is not a DVD that is to be bought for it's technical qualities or abundance of extras. All you get is a static menu with no trailer, character biographies or other extras. In this day and age of DVD's like "Contact" and "The Matrix" I would have expected a bit more from a quality movie like this. The picture quality is good, as is the sound but it certainly won't tax your Dolby Digital amplifier, but then again it is not expected to.

Jerry Maguire is a film to cuddle up to your partner with and watch on a cold rainy night. It is funny, poignant and thought provoking. Worth watching at least once.

A Classic?! Not Quite...
Although it starts promising enough, this movie soon turns into another predictable and unsurprising romantic comedy. The story is pure Hollywood fluff and the typical and expected ending confirms it. Ok, the acting is quite good, everyone was believable and gave solid performances, yet the plot is full of cliches and sometimes it`s way too annoying in its tender and sappy moments. Cameron Crowe did a decent job directing this, but overall "Jerry Maguire" is a romantic comedy by-the-numbers, even if a couple of characters are a bit above cardboard charicatures. It`s a watchable movie, yet it brings nothing new and is far from innovative stuff.
A rental at best.
