Pros: charming story; many funny moments; great performances. Cons: screenplay is riddled with cliches; very melodramatic at times
Single mothers, "Scrooge"-like characters, cocky athletes, and love: what do these things have in common? They're difficult to work with in movies. "Jerry Maguire" is a funny and charming movie that not only uses all of these tricky devices ...

Pros: Excellent cast. Funny. Cons: None.
Jerry Maguire is a romantic comedy about a young, successful sports agent who gets fired from the agency who's reputation he helped to build. He is fired for writing a mission statement basically citing that sports management should be less ...

Pros: Great script, acting performances and scenes Cons: It's hard to admit to liking this film.
I don’t want to like Jerry Maguire, I really don’t. For several painful months in late 1996, I had to endure the most annoying humans in the world becoming enamored with a catchphrase that simply would not die.* I had to listen to some butchered...

Pros: Good script and acting Cons: Catch-phrases...kinda cheesy
I know what was going through writer/director Cameron Crowe's mind when he was making this script...he had a concept, and in order to pass it off to all the guys out there, he added in a lot of sports. Lets be honest, most guys don't like love stories,...

Pros: Cuba Gooding Jr., Regina King and the two kids Cons: Tom Cruise and Renee Zellweger
I thought I was the only American who missed this movie when it hit the theaters. All I heard was the power of classic lines like ”Show Me The Money! and ”You Had Me At Hello! By the time this was released on video, everyone was talking...

Pros: Solid acting. Cons: Bad script, bad sound mix, consistently overlit.
I just can’t do it. I just can’t rubber stamp Jerry Maguire as a perfect romance/sports movie, let sleeping dogs lie, and recant the bash that I first wrote of it back when it was released. I’d like to say that I want to recant and am being stopped by...

Pros: great characters, lifetime lessons, the human side of celebrity and fame Cons: none to speak of - this film is enjoyed by men and women alike
Director Cameron Crowe has made many terrific movies, such as "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," "Singles," and "Almost Famous" (see my epinion at: http://www.epinions.com/content_33355566724), yet I believe that "Jerry...

Pros: funny, heartwarming, adorable, romantic, everything Cons: none
Everyone out there, by now, should know what this film's plot is all about. The premise is simple, and epinions has provided you with a very detailed synopsis of the film. So...I'm not writing this review to tell you what the movie is about. I am...

by Korova , Mar 17 '01
Pros: Zellweger, Gooding Jr Cons: Cruise, the kid, ending, bad guys
`Jerry Maguire’ tells the story of its hero, who realises that there is more to life than money, and survives with that knowledge. And then, at the end, sees the kid throw a baseball, and immediately wonders about putting him in for some training. He...

by kevincmurphy , Nov 30 '99
Pros: Tightly written character study should appeal to fans of Cruise, buddy films, AND romantic comedies. Cons: a talky movie, it can feel long.
In Jerry Maguire, the most recent film by writer/director Cameron Crowe, Tom Cruise is Jerry Maguire -- and, for all practical purposes, Jerry Maguire is Tom Cruise. This hot shot sports agent squarely fits into the Cruisian hot shot canon, booming all...

Pros: Funny, and great cast! Cons: Not enough Gooding!
"Jerry Maguire" was one huge hit in 1996! "Show Me The Money" was the catch phrase of the decade! Though this was a Cruise vehicle, Gooding took the film over and made it his own.
"Jerry Maguire" is the tale of...

Pros: the whole entire cast, the memorable dialogue, the music. Cons: lot of cursing, an explicit sex scene in the beginning.
Tom Cruise gets a Best Actor nomination for his performance as a cynical sports agent in Cameron Crowe’s 1996 romantic comedy. He works in getting popular athletes protection and money and he puts all his commitment in that. He is about to be married to...

Pros: cast, entertaining Cons: script, story, direction
Tom Cruise struck gold again with this feel-good romantic comedy, landing another Best Actor Oscar nomination. "Jerry Maguire" was one of the most successful films of 1996, and "Show Me the Money" became one of the most annoying catch...

Pros: A great comedy/romance/drama -- a guy chick flick Cons: Some cheesy $#*@
Tom Cruise can act. Who knew? He's given passable performances in a lot of movies, but in Jerry Maguire, for the first time, you don't consciously think of him as Tom Cruise during every scene. He actually becomes the character, a new concept for a...
