This film had me smiling right from the first frame and that smile didn't leave me till the last shot. That's what defines a feel-good classic. That's what this is...

I had the unfortunate experience of watching this movie while in a hotel with my girlfriend recently. She LOVES this film for some reason and I gave her the remote and that's what stayed on. I was appalled. There is not one single likeable character. Yes, the actors were OK which is why I gave it 2 stars. But the plot is ludicrous. An unlikable jerk (Tom Cruise) is fired by unlikable jerks (The Company) in a cut throat industry, and rides the coat tails of another unlikable jerk (Cuba Gooding Jr.). After an annoying and obnoxious couple hours trying to make unlikable jerks likeable it turns out the once powerful sports agent is a chump who magically falls in love with a loser single mom and her child. A single mom who has no problem letting a strange man she just started dating cuddle up with her 5 year old boy. wouldn't anyone find this a little creepy??? By the end I was in diabetic shock from the forced ridiculous plot and romance.

Jerry Maguire(Tom Cruise) is an on-demand sports agent, managing the world's best players, drawing huge amounts of money with the contracts and living a lavish life. Suddenly one night he realizes that the life he is living is artificial and unethical. So, he decides to pen down all his experiences and distributes them in the office. But in turn, he gets fired from the job and loses all his clients to his rival Bob Sugar(Jay Mohr). Now he has to make do with Dorothy Boyd(Renee Zellweger) the only employee who sticks with him and only one client Rod Tidwell(Cuba Gooding Jr.), a football player with needs to regain his fame soon.This film not only focuses on sports but this dramatic story explores the philosophies of life and captures human feelings deftly. The emotional highs and lows of Jerry, the desperation of Rod and his family, the vulnerability of Dorothy, and the childlike joy of Ray(Jonathan Lipnicki). With some unforgettable dialogues and memorable performances by all actors, this film just cannot be missed.

Just a great comedy in general. Cuba being a real quan along side Cruise, the ambassador. Some very funny scenes with plenty of different jokes around. And of course it sends out a message, don't give up on your dreams. Don't be afraid to try and be real to the ones you love, and yourself. Create a connection. Has some great scenes as well, with impressing acting from cast. Goes in a funny tone and gets more emotional as it goes. 9/10 for little Lipnickis scenes 8/10 for Cubas scenes 7/10 comedy scenes 7/10 romance scenes 7/10 for quotes 6/10 for lack of music.watchable
