This ain't no Jerry MaGuire

Rating: Null/10 (1 April 1999)

Well, I must say that this movie was ok. Around the time it came out, I remember hearing someone say that it was that year's Jerry MaGuire. Well, I loved Jerry MaGuire. So, I was excited to see this. And, I was excited to see that Cuba Gooding Jr was in it. I thought he was outstanding in Jerry MaGuire. But, my wife and I ended up not seeing it until it came out on video. And, I don't know, maybe it was because we didn't see it in the theater, since I enjoy films much more in the theater. But, I must say that we were pretty severely disappointed. In my book, it goes right along with Cameron Diaz-- quite overrated. Granted, Jack has some of the funniest lines I've ever heard in a movie. But, there wasn't much else good about it. It was pretty sweet, but it just didn't do it for me. Cuba had what-- a whole five minutes of screen time. At the end, my wife and I were asking each other-- that was it?
