Brashly engaging.
What sets Jerry Maguire above any other romantic comedy this year is Crowe's writing. He captures the venal, high-stakes world of pro sports with deadly wit and an ex-journalist's sense of detail.

"I didn't shoplift the pootie."
All the famous lines were good, but this silly one stood out.
Just so funny, intentional or unintentioanl, due to Cruise's wild match of mega star power and lack of ability to play drunk or romantic.
Report
Sports drama that does everything possible to avoid the conventional and succeeds, about a sports representative who must balance between commitment and reliving the career of his protégé. One of the most prominent roles of Tom Cruise.
Report
Working from his own original screenplay, Crowe builds a story line full of unexpected twists and digressions.
What's fascinating is the depth of humanity Cruise finds within the character of Jerry and also Cruise's generosity toward the other actors in the story -- a generosity that allows all the other performers to shine and create vivid and memorable characters.
Now "Rod Tidwell," with Jerry Maguire as a supporting character, would be a movie to pay to see.
A meandering and deeply shallow tale of spiritual redemption.
Jerry Maquire is an essential film for everyone and is one of the most ideal date movies out there with a sports side for the males and some romance for the females. Cameron Crowe's direction is incredible as his films often are and the film boasts several good performances. Tom Cruise takes another break from the action films that made him famous to do a fun, heart warming film. Cuba Gooding Jr. plays the role of his career and is the true standout in the film and then there is the beautiful Renee Zellweger who manages to deliver one of her most notable roles as well. Jerry Maguire avoids all the romantic comedy clichés which Cameron Crowe is also great at and serves as a building block for Crowe's magnum opus Almost Famous later on in his career.

It is both hilarious and heartfelt. Well acted and well written. Probably one of the most quotable movies of all time, and one of the few that actually brought a few tears to my eyes. Bonus points for one of the best child actors ever!

show me the money..
Jerry Maguire
There are some genuine emotional moments with cliched touch which works for the most part of the movie with the help of some good performances but lacks complete understanding on executing a scene. Jerry Maguire despite of its strong writing material relies totally upon the performances and brings out the best from each and every character. Cameron Crowe still needs some work to do on supervising and executing from paper onto the screen. As mentioned earlier, it is filled with stellar performance by Tom Cruise, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Renee Zellweger. Jerry Maguire starts off slowly as it takes its time to settle on its first act and then boosts up with incredible writing and finishes off majestically.
Report
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?
