"Anyone else would have left you by now, but I'm sticking with you. And if I have to ride your ass like Zorro, you're gonna show me the money." - Rod Tidwell

Why watch this? I love good flicks about a guy maturing into a man.

Plot Summary: Jerry Maguire, a successful sports agent, experiences a moral crisis and writes a mission statement advocating for fewer clients and more personal relationships, which leads to his firing. Undeterred, he decides to start his own agency with the support of only one colleague, Dorothy Boyd, and one client, Rod Tidwell.

Dad's Preview: I had to come back around to this film. I boycotted Tom Cruise for a while - just too full of himself, and that whole scientology thing. In the last few years, I've softened. The dude is one talented actor. Here he's a cocky sports agent... who gets fired and loses his mind. As he battles to bounce back, he starts to fall for the shy girl. She's a young, single mother who lacks a lot of confidence. It's a great RomCom that will warm the hardest heart. And this was Renée Zellweger's first major role.
