A Very Likable Movie

Rating: 7/10 (26 December 2015)

'Jerry Maguire' is a multi-genre film focussing primarily on the lives of a sports agent, an NFL playing, Oscar-winning Cuba Gooding Jr. and single mum Renee Zellweger. There is a certain feel-good factor to this film, as there are with most Cameron Crowe films which makes it very hard to dislike. The other great thing about Crowe's films is that everything is real from the characters to their emotions to the whole story. The casting of Tom Cruise is near-perfect as I could not imagine anyone to better portray an ambitious and willing sports agent. Asides the good movie and acting, this is surely one of the most quotable films to date with "You had me at 'hello'", "Show me the money!!" and "You complete me". Overall, a good, uplifting film and what we have come to expect from Cameron Crowe. 7.5/10
