    Great, one of the best romantic comdies of all-time. It's also the second best film of the year.

    A horse opera of a different color. A thoroughbred saddled with burlap & chintz, then ridden hard on Cruise control straight to the glue factory. In other words, a fresh approach diverted into familiar channels until it has no resemblance to its original impetus. So sad that there are moments of dialogue so fresh, precise and unforgettable. But the film is so heavy handed. Zellweger's initial stand of loyalty to Cruise was so emotionally justifying that I was forced to skip over the basic question of What the hell provoked her to do that? No one is that good of heart in the workplace, where the goal is to, rain on your parade, keep one's job. It's such poor taste to say "Don't patronize me," but that's what I say here, not "I'm stupid take my money again please and pull every string I've got." Impossible to describe in technical terms what happened to this film during its construction without using profanity. … Expand

    Renee Zellweger gets this two more points than it would otherwise deserve. It really is a shallow film in parts. Disguised as a romantic comedy-drama, it's really a character study of someone who has little character. Tom Cruise is not likeable for much of the film, even when down on his luck professionally. What saves it is there are enough engaging moments throughout to keep you involved in the story, and of course the gorgeous Zellweger's disarming performance. Well, it must be good because I still get a tear in the eye everytime I watch this film.… Expand

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

    I really enjoyed the human aspect of this movie, Cameron Crowe does a really could job in capturing that element with his characters. In addition making those characters more real and someone we can all relate to on some level.

    Let's not jump to conclusions. I am comfortable with its high rating and bundle of awards, but I think there was the usual Hollywood style cheese flavoured romance. But I think Cruise is in his element here, which has much more soul in it compared to his Mission Impossible films. It is one of his better films, although leaving a slightly sweet and sour taste in your mouth afterwards.

    Working from his own original screenplay, Crowe builds a story line full of unexpected twists and digressions.

    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.
