Review
I refused to see Jerry Maguire for several years assuming it was a cheap movie about money sports and sex. When i finally watched it on TV i was blown away. This movie is about hope redemption love and finding out the meaning of life. Tom Cruise does a spectacular job playing someone with nothing to loose and Cuba Gooding's performance brought tears to my eyes. Renee Zellweger fits perfectly by having great chemistry with Jerry and by having a normal plain look. This film works because it's so real and easily plausible its a witty romantic drama more than a romantic comedy that proves its never too late to start over or take a risk.
