SYNOPSIS: 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.
BLURBS:
“Jerry Maguire still holds up as a superb emotional roller-coaster, charming comedy and surprisingly deep meditation on intimacy, connectivity and toxic masculinity.” - James Croot, The Post (NZ)
“Cruise gives perhaps his most appealing performance ever in what is arguably his best movie.” - Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
"[It] may be referred to as "the Tom Cruise sports agent movie," but really is an exciting romance and cautionary yuppie tale. And the actor who steals the movie is a name you have never heard of -- Renee Zellweger." - Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune
