Reviews Counted:56

Fresh:47

Rotten:9

Average Rating:7.4/10

Consensus: Anchored by dazzling performances from Tom Cruise, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Renée Zellweger, as well as Cameron Crowe's tender direction, Jerry Maguire meshes romance and sports with panache.

Runtime: 2 hrs 19 mins

Genre: Comedies

Synopsis: What happens when a man tries to apply moral standards to his job in an industry of greed? He gets fired. Tom Cruise plays Jerry Maguire, a slick sports agent who realizes that he hates how he is... What happens when a man tries to apply moral standards to his job in an industry of greed? He gets fired. Tom Cruise plays Jerry Maguire, a slick sports agent who realizes that he hates how he is living his life and encourages his fellow employees to get back to the important basics: people, loyalty, and fairness. Unfortunately, Maguire's new moral compass costs him his job, and he is left to start his business anew with one work ally, agency accountant Dorothy Boyd (Renée Zellweger), and his least important client, Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding, Jr.). Maguire embarks on a journey of personal growth that forces him to reevaluate his life choices and ultimately leads him to both friendship and love. Like his earlier films, SAY ANYTHING and SINGLES, this award-winning Cameron Crowe film features snappy dialogue, comic relief, and the occasional tear-jerking moment. Stellar performances are turned in from Cruise, Zellweger, and Gooding, Jr., as well as supporting cast members Bonnie Hunt, Jay Mohr, Regina King, and Kelly Preston. [More]

    Crowe deserves a pat on the back if not an Oscar nod for saying what everyone is thinking.

    This is a wholly unexpected film, as heady and surprising in its humor as in its emotional texture.

    It's not coincidental that writer-director Crowe (Singles,Say Anything...) is also in top form, creating a raft of sweetly believable characters and complex relationships.

    Director Cameron Crowe has written and directed a deft, funny, shamelessly upbeat romantic comedy and to top it all drawn out the finest performance of Tom Cruise's career.

    It talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk. Or, in other words, it simply doesn't have heart.

    Cruise is at the top of his form, and Gooding makes a brilliant opponent.

    The combination of Crowe's exceptional script and the superior cast, highlighted by Cruise's flawless performance, results in one of the years most substantial movies.

    Gooding does his finest work since Boyz N the Hood, positively glowing with this character's mixture of engaging brassiness and (occasionally misdirected) energy.

    Cameron Crowe, Tom Cruise, and Cuba Gooding Jr. are salesmen, and we're consumers, buying emotional truth. That's a brave message for a commercial film to have. Too bad it's unintentional.

    Director Cameron Crowe nearly fumbles the ball with an overabundance of situations and subplots, but is rescued by the starpower of his actors.
