One of the best romantic comedies of the 1990s, this box-office hit cemented writer-director Cameron Crowe's reputation as "the voice of a generation." Crowe could probably do without that label, but he's definitely in sync with the times with this savvy story about a sports agent (Tom Cruise) whose fall from grace motivates his quest for professional recovery, and the slow-dawning realization that he needs the love and respect of the single mom (Renee Zellweger in her breakthrough role) who has supported him through the worst of times. This is one of Cruise's best, most underrated performances, and in an Oscar-winning role, Cuba Gooding Jr. plays the football star who remains Jerry Maguire's only loyal client on a hard road to redemption and personal growth. If that sounds touchy-feely, it is only because Crowe has combined sharp entertainment with a depth of character that is rarely found in mainstream comedy. --Jeff Shannon

 Heart Warming Film For All To Enjoy September 21, 2008
After playing a vampire and a spy succesfully , Tom Cruise took on the role of a sports agent and succeeded. Jerry Maguire is one of the movie that after watching you feel good inside. Cuba Gooding Jr. won a well desreved Oscar for his role as Rod Tidwell. Regina King and Renne Zwellger are good as the female leads and Johnathen Lipnicki steals almost every scene. I love this movie.
Heart-Warming and Thoughtful September 17, 2008
Jerry Maguire is one of my favorite movies, because it's a modern movie with a heart and soul. Not very many modern comedy/drama/romances actually have one, but that is what this movie is all about: relationships. Although there are some cliched moments where it seems like the typical comedy/romance, the romance part actually explores issues about true love, intimacy, marriage, and commitment that most movies are afraid to, even though these are very timely issues. The questions of why we marry, why we are we afraid of commitment and intimacy, and what true love is are all explored by the film, as well as deeper questions about what is important in our lives, through the lives of Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise), Dorothy Boyd (Renee Zellweger), Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding, Jr.) and his family, and various other characters throughout the film. In addition to the excellent script however, the acting is also great. Cruise, Gooding, and Zellweger are all wonderful, and Bonnie Hunt shines as Laurel, Dorothy's protective older sister. It's not the best movie of all time, but is in my top 10, and I laugh and cry every time I see it. I recommend it highly.
You are hanging on by a very thin thread and I dig that about you! September 7, 2008

1996's acclaimed Jerry Maguire is the tale of a sports agent who stumbles upon his morals; therefore he finds himself jobless and fighting for his clients.
Jerry(Tom Cruise) finds himself with only one partner Dorothy Boyd(Renee Zellweger) in his attempts to build back his business; and only one client football player, Rod Tidwell(Cuba Gooding Jr.: in his oscar winning performance)
Jerry and Dorothy start to fall for each other, but how can they not let it get in the way of working together? Meanwhile Rod's still waiting on Jerry for any kind of endorsement or contract and Jerry hasn't quite been pulling through for him.
The rest of the story is not so imperative, it's cliche, mostly predictable, but not terrible. Cuba is fantastic, Zellweger is adorable, and the child talents of Jonathan Lipnicki and Jeremy Suarez are amazing, and honestly they were my favorite part of the entire film. And Cruise, well... it was only a little painful, although I can't blame him entirely, part of it's the character, I know.
Personally I'd give the film 3 stars, but those kids crack me up and therefore deserve their own star.
It's a fine film, I just don't see what all the fuss is about. I prefer Sleepless in Seattle.
I will admit I still like to yell "SHOW ME THE MONEY!"

 Sappy annoying chick flick! August 6, 2008
0 out of 5 found this review helpful
Just my personal opinion, but that's what we're supposed to offer here. What can I say? I was bored! Especially annoying was the character played by Renee Zellweiger, whose whiny demands on Jerry were awfully tiresome.....but she wins, of course, because it IS a chick flick! One scene was very amusing, though, if only because it was ridiculous: Jerry & his whiny girlfriend are in a restaurant with Ron & Marcee, (played by Cuba Gooding and Regina King). Marcee is hugely pregnant. Anyway, Ron & Marcee are making out with each other between mouthfuls of food, and cooing "Oh-baby-oh-baby" while Jerry & girlfriend look on, getting very uncomfortable. Girlfriend is obviously sulking, too, because SHE'D like to get the kind of attention from Jerry that Marcee's getting. Suddenly, Marcee is yelling, "OH-BABY-OH-BABY" because she has gone into labor! Hysteria erupts. That was the stupidest part of the film. Well, I won't go on, because it's not worth it. Scenes like those are why I can't stomach chick flicks. Too MUCH! I'll take an action/adventure film or a war film any old day! And yes, I'm a woman! Just don't like sloppy sentimental films, though, and this over-rated one IS, all right.
