Tom is in Cruise Control

Rating: 8/10 (16 April 2012)

Jerry Maguire is a rare type of movie---a romantic comedy which actually DOES have a few laughs. Tom Cruise gives perhaps his finest ever performance in this above average ROM-COM. The central message---love conquers all---is delivered gently with some deft writing. Maguire, caught up in the cynical world of sports agents decides that "heart and honesty" is the way to go. Its a brave decision and only Dorothy Boyd (Rene Zellwegger) believes in him and his new philosophy. It threatens to become cheesy as their relationship develops----but this film is better than most and it never dips into "Yucky" territory. Its difficult to criticize this movie....because it delivers what it promises. And it entertains till the end. Very good movie.
