Reviews for Jerry Maguire
Top Critic Smartly written and boasting a sensational cast, Cameron Crowe's shrewdly observed third feature also gives Tom Cruise one of his very best roles...
07/31/08
Top Critic There is a recognizable ordinariness about the way these people stumble in and out of trouble, in and out of grace -- an ambiguous note, at once tart and sweet, knowing and innocent, in their relationships.
07/31/08
Even Cruise can't capsize Cameron Crowe's entertaining romantic drama.
07/31/08
Cruise seems to have grown as much as Jerry, for he brings gentleness, warmth and lightheartedness to this role, qualities that we haven't seen since he played air guitar in his underpants in Risky Business 13 years ago.

Top Critic
A meandering and deeply shallow tale of spiritual redemption, built around the Teflon persona of Tom Cruise and driven by the conviction that all emotions worth expressing can be summed up in pop songs.
03/26/07
Surely the film could have been shorter, but this unabashed Hollywood exercise tricked me into liking it.
07/22/06
Lauded as a witty moral fable with a revelatory performance from its star, this romantic comedy is in fact meretricious, manipulative and reactionary.
02/09/06
Disarming acting, colorful writing and true generosity of spirit keep it right on track.
05/20/03
Top Critic Funny and warmhearted, this romantic comedy has it all: a gentle love story, crackling dialogue, social satire and uplifting themes.
05/20/03
Sports-agent epic about humanity in the face of commercialism still stands as Cruise's and Crowe's best work.
11/07/02
One of the things I liked best about this movie is the quality of the women's characters.
10/15/02
It has a lot of charm and it's smarter than most Hollywood movies. It's terrific entertainment.
09/10/02
An engaging and full-tilt movie about how attention enhances both love and work.
