When slick sports agent Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) has a crisis of conscience, he pens a heartfelt company-wide memo that promptly gets him fired. Desperate to hang on to the athletes that he represents, Jerry starts his own management firm, with only single mother Dorothy Boyd (Renee Zellweger) joining him in his new venture. Banking on their sole client, football player Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr.), Jerry and Dorothy begin to fall in love as they struggle to make their business work.

Critics Consensus

Anchored by dazzling performances from Tom Cruise, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Renée Zellweger, as well as Cameron Crowe's tender direction, Jerry Maguire meshes romance and sports with panache.

Quentin Curtis

Daily Telegraph (UK)

4d

This is the performance of Cruise's career. In Jerry Maguire he has found a part exploits the showboating swagger of his earlier roles, and also finds something deeper -- the still beating heart beneath the corporate bluster.

4/5

Jerry still isn't sure how to be a human being -- at least in the beginning and the middle of the film. And watching Cruise's character evolve -- yet keep his sense of humor -- is what makes this film so much fun.

Again and again, as you watch Jerry fight several kinds of loserdom that seem ever ready to devour him, you're aware of watching ground that's been gone over before, but not with as much freshness and point as Crowe brings to it.

8/10

Jerry Maguire is skillfully created to take advantage of everything that Tom Cruise brings to the screen.

4.5/5

Jerry Maguire implies that happiness can come from situations that merely border on love -- that is, sometimes it's more important to like someone than it is to totally surrender yourself to stereotypical expectations.

A-

Jerry Maguire gives it clients 110 percent, like any good agent. And it does exactly what Rod wants Jerry to do: It shows us the money.

This one should have gotten the Best Picture Oscar, rather than "The English Patient", which no one remembers. Stellar work by Gooding, Zellweger and, of course, Maverick. A great, uplifting, feel-good story of love and sports. The quotes from the movie that have become popular culture - "Show me the money", "You complete me" and, of course "You had me at hello." Did that for good reason. Top 50 all-time for sure. Probably higher, depending on your stance on romances.

Went in blind for Cruise and Renée, and got heart, humor, charm, and pure satisfaction - a complete package in return!

Jerry Maguire makes strong use of its talented cast, but a tonally awkward script juggling multiple subplots and genres leaves it feeling like two competing movies, even if its sharper insights on love still ring true.
