Movie Review: Jerry Maguire

One of those iconic movies you always hear about, but somehow never get down to watching... finally got a chance to catch JM on Star Movies last night...

Very inspirational movie, for anyone who's going through a mid life crises, a tough time personally or professionally... and a must see movie for all those enterpreneurs and leaders striking out on their own...

Jerry Maguire is a very successful, living-it-large agent for sports stars, when one fateful day, he is dumped from his firm, leaving him with nowhere to go. With every big client choosing to stay with the firm and his rival, Jerry is left with just one struggling American football player as his client, and one colleague from his old firm who leaves her join to join him, inspired by one of his parting memos. They fall in love, get married, and struggle through all the ups and downs life throws at them, including a painful breakup, until one day, it all falls in place and life is beautiful again.

Tom Cruise has always been an attractive guy, but in Jerry Maguire, he pulls in a stunning performance displaying a wonderful range of emotions from cocky to confident to devastated to determined to defeated, from being in love to losing love, from being a lover boy to a loving father.  Rene Z is pretty, and vulnerable and strong at the same time..

Overall, a very touching movie, and highly recommended if you have been stupid enough like me not to see it yet...
