amazing

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2005)

this movie rocks. i first saw it when i was maybe 12, and i liked it, but didn't really get it. i am now 17 and have seen it about 3 times in the past month. it is amazing. it has everything a movie could want. it has comedy, Cuba's character is pretty funny and sarcastic, it has unintentional comedy just because it is tom cruise and he is clinically insane so it is funny, and the fact that it is the only movie where Renee Zelwegger didn't gain 50 lbs to perform, which makes it a classic in its own right. how can you argue with a movie where they feature a line about "shoplifting pootie"? in addition to the comedy it is also an incredibly sweet movie with a seemingly doomed relationship struggles through hardship to eventually succeed, and who doesn't like a good success story? (it happens twice, the relationship and the business succeed)it also has some awesome cameos: Mel Kiper Jr, troy Aikman, Al Michaels, and of course Jay Mohr in his typical jerk character. just to get a sense of how good it is, i put it on at 3:30 in the morning with my friend the other day, because we simply needed to watch it. anyone who says cruise doesn't put on a good performance is a gosh darn liar, and i would be willing to bet their pants are on fire.
