Editorial Review:
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 (Renée 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
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Shallow and formulaic
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 ... Read More
Rating: - A Modern Classic
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.
Rating:  - 4.5; one of the biggest hits of the 90's
Apparently, it can be very easy for an album or a film to take the world by storm and everyone gets to raving and talking about it and the success of the film almost seems bigger than the film itself. However, just because you're the biggest at the time, does that mean you were the best or just simply the most visible? Compare "Jerry Maguire", Cameron Crowe's first huge film to make massive business after the so-so successes of "Singles" and "Say Anything", to "Almost Famous", long considered Crowe's ... Read More
Rating: - Jerry Maguire
This is probably one of the best performances I have seen by Tom Cruise. He portrays Jerry McGuire, a sought after sports agent, that gets a wake up call causing him to reevaluates his priorities in life. Renee Zellweger is cast as his partner and wife. She is delightful and always a joy to watch. Cuba Gooding Jr. commands attention in every scene he is in. He was very impressive in this film. Who couldn't be in love with little Jonathan Lipnicki!
Rating:  - A muddled film.
Jerry Maguire starring Tom Cruise didn't blow me away like everyone else. Yes there are some remarkable performances such as Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Renee Zellweger (in her breakthrough role) but the plot is so in your face and contrived. Cameron Crowe's films tend to disappoint even though fans and critics adore him. Zellweger's funny and touching performance as lonely single mom, Dorothy is the main reason to watch this film, I remember watching her performance and thinking - she is going to be a huge ...
