Cameron Crowe does it again

Rating: 7/10 (9 November 2013)

Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) is a top sports agent. Only lately, he's noticing something morally wrong in his world. In the dead of night, he types up his 'mission statement' punctuated by 'Fewer clients. Less money.' He distributes it to his officemates, and it eventually blows up in his face. (Love the synchronicity of the old Mission Impossible footage)
It has great iconic lines and breakout performances from Renée Zellweger and Cuba Gooding Jr. Tom Cruise is perfect for the self involved agent who comes to a life changing reckoning. Cameron Crowe delivers the lines and the actors deliver the performances. It's a great under-the-radar rom-com. Only it's more a rom-com between Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding Jr. than Tom Cruise and Renée Zellweger.
