    Once again writer-director Cameron Crowe has gotten all the little details just right.

    It seems like nitpicking to say it, but the weakness of Jerry Maguire is that there's too much to it -- too many things happening at once for a viewer to digest. But with a charming cast like this, having too much isn't such a bad thing.

    Tom Cruise hams it up as usual as an agent for sportsmen, loses his job then starts up on his own.
    Renee Zellweger & Jonat    han Lipnicki are in a good supporting cast & it's a pretty good story despite the silly ending bit with Cuba Gooding Jr.… Expand

    Yeah, the kid was cute, there was a little bit of humour, but the plot doesn't make much sense. The pacing is just wildly uneven and the plot doesn't make much sense probably because you can't understand whether it's too simple or complicated. Tell me, why did I think this was any good in the first place?… Expand
