Enjoyable, but ultimately a little over-sentimental.

Rating: 7/10 (15 October 1998)

A different Tom Cruise movie, but why does Cruise only play the one basic character - arrogant, slightly vulnerable men? Only in "Born on the 4th of July" did he ever deviate from this role. An enjoyable and believable story EXCEPT for the over-sentimental romantic sub-plots between Maguire and Dorothy and the Tidwells. Maybe I'm just too old and cynical. Also, "Jerry Maguire" would have benefited from being twenty or thirty minutes shorter.
