Sporty love story

Rating: 6/10 (14 July 2013)

Amusing comedy drama that alternates between being a mockery of greed in the sports world and romantic comedy. Tom Cruise, in one of his best roles, plays sports agent Jerry Maguire. He is tired of the cynicism in the sports world. When he gets fired and is starting his own business, it is only two who believe in him to succeed. A secretary (Renée Zellweger) and a promising player (Cuba Gooding Jr.) in American football. The questions then become two: Will Jerry Maguire get back together with the secretary, who is a single mother? Is the football player going to become a star? The film was nominated for many awards, including best film, but only Cuba Gooding Jr. won an Oscar, then for Best Supporting Actor. Cameron Crowe's film is filled with so much humor, charm and warmth, that it does not matter that it is a bit predictable.
