A shameless attempt to make a buck, but still good!

Rating: 7/10 (25 July 1999)

Has there ever been a movie that was cooked up for money more than Jerry Maguire? Can't you just hear the producers at the company: "We need money, let's make a romantic comedy. Put in Tom Cruise and a cute kid and women will line up around the block. Add a sports theme, with real pro athletes and announcers, men will be more than happy to go also. Throw in a Bruce Springsteen song and we have a license to print money!!" But, in spite of all this, the movie was still pretty good. The story is true, agents are ruining sports. The romantic side of the story wasn't bad either. See, commercialism isn't always bad!
