a great mix of everything

Rating: 10/10 (23 February 1999)

Tom Cruise gives his best performance to date as Jerry Maguire. For the first time he didn't play a character who was cocky. He was totally vulnerable. Cuba Gooding Jr. gave one of my favorite performances as a mediocre football player that is full of love for his family, and that is nice to see. He did deserve his Oscar and all the success he has been having.
This has a beautiful mix of drama, romance and comedy. A must see. My grade: A-
