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.

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.

3.5/4

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.

3.5/4

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.

3.5/4

A promising filmmaker gives audiences just what they crave with Jerry Maguire, a moderately in depth look at the world of sports client management.

Most of this movie is right up there with the best ever. A few dead sections. Well worth the effort though. So many quotable lines and Cuba Goodings finest moment
