...you had me at goodbye...
...this movie is at the top of my list...unfortunately, it's the 'worst movie of all-time' list...that's right, ladies and gentlemen, friends and supporters of this film...this movie is trash (and not just for cuba's horribly annoying acting)...it's also one of the reasons so many relationships end up miserable...come on...do you really think renee would have ended up with this guy if his career went in the other direction...it was pure desperation rather than inspiration that made him succumb to showing up with his hat in his hands...and if all you base a relationship on, is the end justifying the means, well, i wish you luck with your next soul mate...

You know? Some guys you just don't like.
There seems to be a substantial amount of pundits, writers, fans, reviewers, who just don't like Tom Cruise. I like the guy. Dare I say, I might even be persuaded to see a movie, just because it's him in the lead.

Maybe it's his religious zeal? I don't know. You have most of Hollywood wanting to crucify Bush and Cheney, and you have a substantial portion of Hollywood telling us it is perfectly normal to have two men make love to eachother. Now put down your stones. Don't throw rocks at me. I'm not saying it's wrong. It's just that here's a guy who doesn't back away from his feelings off the stage, tells you how he feels about redemption and life ever after, and he's the guy we raise our eybrows at? Go figure.

And the couch incident on Oprah. Hey. Wait a sec. That's the same couch that Jim Frey told us he had been addicted to hard drugs, spent months in prison with bad guys, was befriended by a mobster, and he cried, Oprah cried and we cried. Then he came back when he was caught lying, and said he was only kidding. And he cried, Oprah cried and we cried. Maybe it's the couch.

The point is, Cruise is a good actor. He has an early history with Hollywood. Hmmmmm. Let's see. Who else. Well Harrison, little Bobby D, Harvey, Martin Scorsese, Meryl Streep. Sounds like pretty good company. And the early stuff wasn't that bad. Risky Biz and before that Taps.

And come on. Don't tell me that Dustin Hoffman did a better job of acting then Cruise did in Rain Man. Cruise had it all over him. But Hoffman was the sentimental favorite. That's all. See the movie again and tell me I'm not right.

So I think Jerry Maguire is laugh-your-behind-off funny. Zellweger is hilarious, trusting, compassionate, focused on what she wants, and Gooding is a thousand percent better than in other movies like Pearl Harbor. And Cruise does a better than commendable job representing all of us when we do the right thing and the guy upstairs doesn't give us immediate gratification and acknowledgement.

Like I said. I like the guy. 5 stars. Larry Scantlebury

this is the film that got me deeply involved and interested in football, in tom cruise's films, and in salesmanship.
this movies is a movie for winners, for those who keep trying. a winner is just someone who loses big time, but keeps trying. he loses and loses and loses, but he overcomes. he is an overcomer, not just an undergoer. yes, and this movie is a love story, and it is an amazing film.
