 Something for Everyone June 27, 2007

Hey, we all know JERRY MAGUIRE was a box office hit that put sultry Renee Zellweger on the superstar map and birthed one of the most famous lines in all of cinema. I've seen this little gem upteen times, enjoyed it even more with each viewing, and scratch my itchy head in amazement that I have yet to review it. Suffice it to say the review begins now. . .
Let's bypass the plot and the Big Three (Renee, Tom, Cuba); for me this movie ultimately succeeds by the fantastic performances of several of its second tier players. Jay Mohr is the guy you love to hate as Jerry's backstabbing former boss, Bob Sugar; Bonnie Hunt is the manhater with a heart of pure gold as Renee's sis Laurel. But Regina King tops them all as Marcee, loving and devoted wife of unappreciated and underpaid Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rod Tidwell. King is a vivacious, voluptuous goddess who absolutely steals every scene she's in, and while she steals it she exudes steamy sensuality. Rod Tidwell is one lucky dude.
So with the strength of its cast and its delightful plot, JERRY MAGUIRE has something for everyone. The Tom and Renee romance pleases the chicks, while the guys get off on the sports drama. Furthermore, sports enthusiasts will thoroughly enjoy all the cameos made by sports celebrities and broadcasters. Bottom line: If you haven't seen JERRY MAGUIRE, by all means see JERRY MAGUIRE. Show me the DVD player.

One of the great film comedies of the 1990's May 23, 2007

Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) is a sports agent who has an epiphany one day about having "less clients, less money". This soon leads to him getting fired from his agency and he his down to one demanding football-playing client Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr.) and a secretary Dorothy Boyd (Rene Zellweger) who takes the plunge and comes with him.
Jerry Maguire is a great romantic comedy filled with warmth and humour and characters you really care about. Underappreciated at time of release this is actually one of the great film comedies of the 1990's.
Jerry Maguire is perfectly cast. Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding Jr are simply brilliant and their interplay provides the real highlights of the film - making the most of a brilliant script. The film lags a little bit in the second half and Cruise and Zellweger's romance is not entirely convincing but this is still great compared to most comedies these days.
Sadly, the commentary included on the DVD with the director and his three leads is a waste of time. It is a self-indulgent, back-slapping session of the very worst kind with insights on the level of "I loved that scene", "you were great in the scene", "awesome", etc, etc. Very disapointing as I was interested in gaining some insights on the making of this great film. Hopefully in a few year's time Crowe will produce a proper commentary that befits the film.
The DVD does include a pretend Reebok commercial that is worth seeing with Cuba, but otherwise you could save your money and just buy the one-disc edition.
NOT JUST A CHIC FLICK! March 24, 2007

This is a very good film and does not deserve the "chic flick" label it has been given(Even though it has one of the all time sappy lines in it "you had me at hello"....hoo boy)! I still dig the movie alot! One to watch again and again. The DVD is a good transfer.

Esta pelicula es espectacular la he visto infinidad de veces y nunca me canso de verla y creo que nunca me cansare, es una pelicula con un hermoso mensaje de lucha, dignidad y humildad ademas de la bella historia de amor. Jamas olvidare la frase "You Complet Me" tu me complementas es hermosa, no dejen de tener esta pelicula una de las mejores de Tom Cruise.
 This stinker won awards? March 21, 2007

Is the academy deaf and blind? Two of the most un-sexy actors, Tom "Plastic" Cruise and Renee (scrunch-face) Whatzinger. Ya gotta be kidding me. Not only were the adult actors horrible, {with the possible exception of Cuba Gooding} the lispy litte buzz cut with glasses was too cutsey for words, oh, wait I thought of a word-nauseating. This whole story was contrived and thanks to the wooden acting of the main characters I didn't care about either of them. Enjoy!
