Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) is a sports agent, is let go because of distributing a mission statement about a mission statement about dishonesty in the sports management business. Bob Sugar (Jay Mohr) does the firing. Jerry discusses a contract with wide receiver Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding, Jr.). Single mother Dorothy Boyd (Renée Zellweger) joins Jerry to put up their own agency.
The screenplay astoundingly well written with quotes from the film: Jerry - "Help me... help you. Help me, help you." "We live in a cynical world, and we work in a business of tough competitors, I love you. You complete me." Dorothy - "You had me at hello." Dicky Fox - "Look I don't have all the answers. To be honest,in Life, I failed as often as I succeeded. But I love My wife. I love My life. And I wish …

In 1996, "Jerry McGuire" proved itself as a breakthrough film for many of its cast and crew. It earned many awards, including five Oscar nominations (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (Tom Cruise),...), winning two (Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor (Cuba Gooding Jr.)). Therefore, this film proved the true potential in several of its cast members, namely Tom Cruise, Renee Zellweger, Cuba Gooding Jr., and producer, director, and writer Cameron Crowe (2000's "Almost Famous", 2005's "Elizabethtown").

Jerry Maguire Review
By Benjamin Hampton
The movie Jerry Maguire reaches out to many audiences since it incorporates comedy and sports into a romantic drama filled with life lessons. Personally, I have two different views of the movie.

This is one that I consider to be one of the last really good Tom Cruise movies. Sure he has done a couple after this that were decent but it wasn't long after this that he started to publicly go insane in the eyes of most people. There were plenty of funny scenes and a number of them have been imitated since in other comedy movies but this was one of the ones that I when it was over I thought that I really enjoyed the movie itself.
Cuba Gooding Jr. did an amazing job and he really brought the character together to the point where there were people in the theater cheering him on by the end. Renee Zellweger was essentially an unknown to most of the movie community before this movie came to be and her career has been amazing since. And Jerry O'Connell...well he just married Rebecca …
