Duane Byrge Hollywood Reporter On the jock front, Gooding is so believable in his role as Jerry's selfish, pea-brained, wide receiver client that the Dallas Cowboys might consider signing him to complement Michael Irvin. Dec 18, 2018 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online Cruise brilliantly portrays a man on the brink of losing his marbles and his grip on reality as he knows it: he's hilarious, sad and desperate but still seems charming in this 1996 movie. Rated: A Sep 12, 2017 Full Review Dave Kehr New York Daily News Zellweger's rumpled, anti-star quality plays in perfect contrast to Preston's buff and polish. She redeems Jerry Maguire and Tom Cruise, too by making him human again. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 24, 2016 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy For all its salient points about surviving in the ’90s workplace and rediscovering the true measure of success, the film is ultimately an old-fashioned love story. Rated: 3.5/4 Apr 12, 2023 Full Review Wesley Lovell Cinema Sight A promising filmmaker gives audiences just what they crave with Jerry Maguire, a moderately in depth look at the world of sports client management. Rated: 3.5/4 Feb 12, 2022 Full Review Stephen Silver Tilt Magazine One of the most popular and important romantic comedies of the 1990s (25th anniversary) Rated: 4/5 Dec 15, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

mark g God, I hated this movie. So cutesy and empty. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Luca H Jerry said, "SHOW ME THE MONEY!", and this movie got 'em from the B.O! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/12/24 Full Review paul o Tom Cruise displays all of his extrovert side in this pointless story. His relationship with Renee Zellweger is difficult to understand to say the least. A very poor story and an unlikely ending. Not worth a watch. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/23/24 Full Review juan m Great movie and soundtrack. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Stefano C Classic american movie, so predictable. The love story is boring and without a sense. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/23/24 Full Review William R Great chemistry between Tom Cruise and Renee zellweger! Not to mention the cuteness of the young boy. Ray! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
