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 1 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.
Shallow and formulaic May 26, 2008

This movie about a sports agent who loses his job and tries to restart his career is cartoonish and predictable. Jerry Maquire (who Tom Cruise portrays in his characteristic intense style, as if intensity were the hallmark of great acting--the same way Billy Joel will hammer a keyboard in search of applause) bets his career on another down-and-outer. Along the way, he finds support in a secretary with a moffit-looking son. He marries her, falls out of love with her, then proclaims his love for her with some phrase about "you complete me." It is as if this movie became a cliche of cornyism as soon as it was released.
A Modern Classic April 20, 2008
I love this movie so much! I saw it when I was in high school, and was really surprised at how much I loved it. I've never been a Tom Cruise fan, and at the time Renee was an unknown. Also, I'm not a sporty girl, why would I care about the life of a sport's agent? I don't know if it was the acting, the writing, great casting, wonderful settings, great editing, I just know that it all came together and will become a classic in the future.
