All Critics (60) | Top Critics (21) | Fresh (50) | Rotten (9) | DVD (28)
Smartly written and boasting a sensational cast, Cameron Crowe's shrewdly observed third feature also gives Tom Cruise one of his very best roles...
Top CriticThere is a recognizable ordinariness about the way these people stumble in and out of trouble, in and out of grace -- an ambiguous note, at once tart and sweet, knowing and innocent, in their relationships.
Cruise seems to have grown as much as Jerry, for he brings gentleness, warmth and lightheartedness to this role, qualities that we haven't seen since he played air guitar in his underpants in Risky Business 13 years ago.
Lauded as a witty moral fable with a revelatory performance from its star, this romantic comedy is in fact meretricious, manipulative and reactionary.
Disarming acting, colorful writing and true generosity of spirit keep it right on track.
There's much to admire in Jerry Maguire, except Jerry Maguire.
Cameron Crowe's romantic comedy is well acted by Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding Jr. (in an Oscar-winning turn), but as a tale of redemption, the movie is not too deep and goes out of its way to satisfy viewers' expectations of a happy ending.
competently made parallel plotted film whose buddy sports film elements outshine its rom-com aspects.
Tom Cruise is in top form playing Jerry Maguire, a slick sports agent with a heart.
Even Cruise can't capsize Cameron Crowe's entertaining romantic drama.
A meandering and deeply shallow tale of spiritual redemption, built around the Teflon persona of Tom Cruise and driven by the conviction that all emotions worth expressing can be summed up in pop songs.
"Jerry Maguire" doesn't stop until it shows you the quan.
Surely the film could have been shorter, but this unabashed Hollywood exercise tricked me into liking it.
Both sides of the story, the sports and the romance, mesh well.
Tom Cruise give his best performance yet.
Exceptional.
Funny and warmhearted, this romantic comedy has it all: a gentle love story, crackling dialogue, social satire and uplifting themes.
Sports-agent epic about humanity in the face of commercialism still stands as Cruise's and Crowe's best work.
One of the things I liked best about this movie is the quality of the women's characters.
It has a lot of charm and it's smarter than most Hollywood movies. It's terrific entertainment.
An engaging and full-tilt movie about how attention enhances both love and work.

- Jerry Maguire: All right, I'll tell you why you don't have your ten million dollars. Right now, you are a paycheck player. You play with your head, not your heart. In your personal life, heart. But when you get on the field it's all about what you didn't get. Who's to blame. Who won through the pass. Who's got the contract you don't. Who's not giving you your love. You know what, that is not what inspires people. That is not what inspires people! Shut up! Play the game, play it from your heart. And you know what, I'll show you the kwan. And that's the truth, man! That's the truth. Can you handle it? It's just a question between friends, you know. Oh, and when they call you 'shrimp,' I'm the one who defends you!

- Jerry Maguire: Hello. I'm looking for my wife. Alright. If this is where it has to happen, then this is where it has to happen. I'm not letting you get rid of me. How about that? This used to be my specialty. I was good in a living room. Send me in there, I'll do it alone. And now I just... I don't know...but our little company had a good night tonight. A really big night. But it wasn't complete, it wasn't nearly close to being in the same vicinity as complete, because I couldn't share it with you. I couldn't hear your voice, or laugh about it with you. I missed my wife. We live in a cynical world, and we work in a business of tough competitors, I love you. You complete me. And I just...
