Lively film experience

Rating: 8/10 (22 January 2010)

Jerry Maguire is not a perfect creation, I think no one can objectively affirm that Jerry Maguire is the perfect film experience. However it is what I call an event. If I were to completely analyze this title I'm sure I would find a consistent number of misplaced scenes, scenes which shouldn't have been put, in the first place, and which seriously diminished the depth of the subject.
The story is hardly new, same scenario in which an apparently ruined agent spectacular rises and take revenge on those who fired him. If you are looking for surprises Jerry Maguire will not match your expectations. But if you want a joyful, funny, vivid film which isn't stupid and trashy at the same time, than Jerry Maguire truly is the perfect choice.
Jerry Maguire beautiful played by Tom Cruise, is an agent who has a one in a lifetime, nocturne revelation which ends with memo in which he suggests that agencies should have fewer athletes under contract, so that the agent/athlete relationship would be much closer, more sincere. However, it seems his employers do not appreciate Jerry's altruism and chose to dismiss him rapidly. If you think Jerry Ma-f..king-guire is the guy to back down well you're dead wrong. Instead he immediately decides to get his revenge on the agency, especially on Bob Sugar, his rival. The problem is the only athlete under contract with, it's the mouthy ,always unsatisfied Rod Tidwell... ...
I dare to say that the characters are the main attraction of this film. Jerry Maguire, played very well by Tom Cruise is the handsome type, a spontaneous charismatic, character, extremely skilled in his job as a sport agent. Rod Tidwell, though at least as spontaneous as his agent, is no more no less than a flippant, always dissatisfied with the financial aspect, arrogant and recalcitrant black male, just like his wife Marcee, the female version of her husband. Dorothy Boyd (Renee Zelwegger) - sweet and her son Ray (Johnatan Lipnicki) - a simple woman, perhaps too simple which still hasn't found her love, but looks to change this when she accompanies Jerry his attempt to regain his position as the best, most appreciated sport agent.
As I said, this title, focuses more on character study rather than on a great scenario, which is, in fact, a regular, linear one. But the way it was illustrated by the director and actors in particular, was really special, making Jerry Maguire one of the most lively film that I have ever seen. I think the defining word for Jerry Maguire is alive, with great significance on dialogs, which were nonetheless sparkling and generous with unique lines like: "show me the money!"
As a conclusion, I state that Jerry Maguire is Overall a good film, very good at times, well worth a **** out of ***** rating (8/10)
