Jerry Maguire Customer Reviews (4 - 6 of 52 Reviews)

One of my all time favorites
Cameron Crow's career in writing screenplays has always been hit or miss. I still believe that Jerry Maguire is his best work. Elizabethtown had moments of greatness (with plenty of flaws), but Gerry Maguire is a great film. I read that Tom Hanks said the film was "perfect." I think that pretty much sums it up. It is a feel good movie with something for everyone - Perfect.

Jerry Maguire is a successful sports agent who seems to have it all - a great job, hot girlfriend, and tons of friends. Then he has an epiphany that makes him want to be a better person, or find meaning in his life. This epiphany sparks a hilarious chain of events that result in him losing everything - his job, his girl, and his so called friends. And he nearly loses his mind. Anyone who has ever had to start life from scratch should see this film. I still like to watch it every year of so and I enjoy it every time.

Through the course of getting back on his feet he meets single mother Dorothy Boyd and a romance ensues. The only client to stick with him is Rod Tidwell, an egomaniacal, over aged, undersized football player. A friendship emerges between Rod and Gerry through which each learns a valuable lesson from the other. This is not your typical romantic comedy.

Tom Cruise gives an excellent performance. At times I felt like I was watching the grown up "Joel" from Risky Business. Renée Zellweger is funny and adorable. Guys, you will fall in love with this character - Dorothy Boyd. Cuba Gooding Jr.is hilarious; not since Sean Penn's Jeff Spicoli has Crowe created such an over the top funny character as Rod Tidwell.

Whatever you think of Tom Cruise, the guy is truly a great actor. And this is one of his best films ever.

Awesome
I loved this movie! I've watched it 100 times and each time I catch it on TV, I keep watching it, even if it's half way through. Gotta see it!

MUCH better than I expected...
I had never had the desire to watch this film...I don't know, not a huge Cruise fan, and the romantic comedy thing...well lets just keep it at "I had no desire to watch it" but it was on TV the other night and so I decided...heck, I have nothing better to do and my wife kept saying that she had heard it was really good. That said, what she heard was very right. This movie is more than a romantic comedy but really a movie about life and the importance we place on the small things that tend to take away from the MORE important things like love and loss. Jerry Maguire follows the story of Jerry Maguire (Cruise), a sports agent, as a flight of conscience costs him his job, but gains him the respect of a fellow employee (Zellweger) who begins to fall madly in love with the man Jerry 'could' be. The thing is that Jerry hasn't fully embraced the prospect of what he 'could' be quite yet and has actually begun to regret his conscience all together. Cuba Gooding Jr. plays Rod, a football player, and Jerry's only loyal client, who wants Jerry to 'Show me the money'. But as Jerry atempts to do that he learns a lot more, and so do we, about love, life and the pursuit of real happiness...and who can resist that little Lipknik kid?
