Cruise's sports agent belonged to a world of fast-talking and real-time media. So a car stereo library of songs was the better way to go in portraying a blossoming relationship within that world. The album can look like a pooling of two people's collections (his being the recent go-getting variety: Springsteen's "Secret Garden", Aimee Mann's "Wise Up", Rickie Lee Jones' "The Horses"; hers being: The Who's "Magic Bus" and "Getting' In Time", Paul McCartney's "Singalong Junk" and "Momma Miss America", Elvis Presley's "Pocketful of Rainbows"), but fortunately the collection flows smoothly from one to the next. Nancy Wilson's "We Meet Again" is credited as the movie's theme, but just about any would have served the purpose as well.--Paul Tonks

Award information
OSCAR: Best Actor In A Supporting Role 1997 (Cuba Gooding Jr.)
Advantages: Ticks many boxes for a chick flick Disadvantages: a little far fetched
...What a great film. Not a massive fan of Tom Cruise, but he does a good job of playing a man who loses nearly everything. A good balance of a light hearted film. JerryMaguire, a hot shot sports agent, whos life slowly crumbles around him. One scary ex-girlfriend, a new start, a goldfish, Cuba Gooding Jr, Renee Zellwegger, broken hearts, cute kid, cringe worthy moments and happy endings. Have watched the film many times, it can be a bit irritating how dumb Jerry can be when it comes to love. You will be left with a phrase in your mind, if you watch it more than once, which will connect you with others, reminding you of probably the best bit of the film. You will just want to shout "SHOW ME THE MONEY!"...

Advantages: Fresh dialogue, with some wonderful performances.. Disadvantages: A bit slow, running over 2 hours and the usual odd cliche.
...she warns Jerry, “If you f*** this up, I'll kill you.”
Overall, this is an enjoyable film with some special and memorable scenes. What makes this film such a good romantic/drama is the actor’s strong performances and wonderful dialogue. Crowe wrote a terrific script and the casting was spot on. If a film about discovery and love appeals to you then this is the film for you! Plus, the film is accompanied by some great soundtracks. I fell in love with Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Secret Garden’ in this film, its such a nostalgic love song. Bob Dylan's "Shelter from the Storm" played in the final scene, is also very poignant and speaks volumes. Most of the songs really complement the film. Anyway, this one comes highly recommended!
