Jerry MaGuire [M]

In the world of business as well as general life, sports agent Jerry Maguire has always been about the business of selling. That was until one of his clients’ son opens his eyes to what a cynical person he is and he writes a mission statement that gets him fired, sprouting a conscience in the process. With the help of one loyal colleague and one loud and outrageous client, Jerry takes another stab at life, but this time he discovers that he’s a man willing to lose everything to win the one thing worth fighting for. 

This film is lovely, absolutely lovely! It’s touching and metaphoric and whole-heartedly warming, armed with beautiful performances from Tom Cruise and Rene Zellweger as well as a beautifully constructed script. I absolutely adored this film!

We first must applaud the scriptwriters because the dialogue and general script for this movie was absolute genius! The entire script is enriched and dripping with delicious metaphorical, cynical, ironic, and romantic delights and it’s one of the few scripts that I have really, I mean really taken note of. You cannot help but marvel at the phrases that come out of these seemingly modern characters mouths; indeed it was the script that gave the movie its power and intrigue and general wonderfulness. 

Now I must give Tom Cruise the accolade that he deserves. Tom delivered a superb performance as the film’s protagonist; he really gave it his all and showed us practically everything that he’s got in his repertoire. If I wasn’t laughing with him, or rooting for him, I was crying with him or yelling at him. A gorgeous display of drama, comedy, determination, development, friendship, and romance, I absolutely LOVED Tom’s performance in this movie. You rock Tom! 

Starring Renee Zellweger, Cuba Gooding Jr., Kelly Preston, Kerry O’Connell, Jay Mohr, Jonathan Lipniki, and Bonnie Hunt, Jerry Maguire is an absolutely beautiful movie filled with life, loss, drama, growth, romance, determination, friendship, and comedy. It’s absolutely gorgeous and a film that I know will stay with me.
