Heartwarming

Rating: 10/10 (23 September 1998)

Jerry Maguire is an ambitious movie that works 100%. Ambitious in that it strives to be a satire of the professional sports industry while simultaneously being the most romantic of romances. The film could quite easily have come off as pure mush, but instead it is an emotional journey that will leave all but the coldest hearts grinning from ear-to-ear. Cruise cements his position as the number one leading man in Hollywood with his performance here, while Gooding Jr and Zellwegger establish themselves as major talents.
10/10
