Overrated!

Rating: 7/10 (26 June 2009)

Jerry Maguire is perhaps the most overrated film of any Oscar winner. I'm not saying that this film is bad, but it's not really that great either. Basically, this film is a decent chick flick with elements for men and women.
Tom Cruise plays a sports agent similar to baseball's Scott Boras. He eventually loses his job and it's up to a football player played by Cuba Gooding Jr. to find himself.
The acting is great. Maybe Gooding does deserve an Oscar. Tom Cruise once again did something right. This film also boosted Renee Zellweger's career.
The reason this film is overrated because the story is lame. You see the same thing happening in almost every chick flick. Gets boring after awhile.
I did like the music. There are some great tunes by Bruce Springsteen.
Overall, this is a decent flick. Why it got nominated for 5 Oscars, I don't know. I rate this film 7/10.
