show me the money...sorry I couldnt resist

Rating: Null/10 (29 April 2001)

I'm not a big fan of Tom Cruise but I will say that he carries this movie like Bill's Movers Co. He stars as a very well respected sports agent who has everything going for him. He has a delicious Kelly Preston as his fiance,the respect of his peers, success and ties with the sports world. What he doesnt have is the relationships with the people that he wants to. He is wants so much more but cant express it. So he types up a memo for his agency addressing the goals that he wants and how everything could be better run. He is fired and his dignity is shred. The only remaining client he has is a hyped up Cuba Gooding Jr. who he promises will get the cash money that he wants. Rene Zellweger plays his secretary who believes in him and left her other job for him. Jerry's fiance leaves him and eventually he falls for Rene. The ending is sappy and predictable but you got to hand it to Cameron Crowe for making it durable. Strong performances by everyone. Jerry cantrell rocks out in a small role.
*** 1/2
