 Jerry Maguire (1996)
At heart, Jerry Maguire is a combination of two films; a melodrama where the winner who loses everything, learns a hard lesson and regains it all, and a romantic comedy of two mixed-up, previously hurt individuals finding love.
Sadly what she loves is a mission statement, something that Jerry scrawled down when he was inebriated and depressed, a personal exorcism that should never have seen the light of day.
Overall, Jerry Maguire is fine as a light comedy but it fails to go as far as it obviously wanted to on a dramatic level.

 Jerry Maguire Special Edition DVD review on AudioRevolution.com
The first example is that "Jerry Maguire" begins where an '80s film would have ended, as the shallow lead character has an epiphany and gains depth and compassion, and continuing with a love plot in which the characters marry before they actually fall mutually in love.
Animated menus designed to ape Jerry's office desk, complete with post-it notes, are slightly difficult to navigate.
However, all in all, the track does offer some good insight into the film, and the years of research that led to Crowe making "Maguire." Of particular interest is the fact that former breakdancer Gooding performed all of Rod Tidwell's touchdown dance, including spinning on his head and flipping.

 Barnes & Noble.com - DVD, Movie, Video: Jerry Maguire, Tom Cruise, VHS
Cameron Crowe's overstuffed but exuberantly humane Jerry Maguire is a Tom Cruise vehicle that gives equal time to brilliantly cast co-stars in elaborately conceived roles.
I've been spending the last six hours watching the DVD of ''Jerry Maguire.'' It is really fun, especially watching Cameron, Tom, Renee and Cuba as they watch the film and talk about it.

Granted he's been very successul at it, so I give him a lot of credit for having the biggest career on the planet, but I don't think he knows the meaning of the word stretch, not that he has to.
If she were strong, she would have moved to San Diego, forcing Jerry to realize what he had let go and maybe what he could have again once he grew up.
