Connections Edited from Avanti! User reviews Review. Top review. High-Energy Entertainment. It's winning the competition, celebrating a Golden Wedding Anniversary or, to many, just making the most money.
The first two are absolutes; you win and you make it to number No gray areas. If you're not dead, you're alive; you're either pregnant or you're not.
But in regards to that third item on the list, what are the parameters by which you measure that particular success? Are there lines across which you will not step to make that extra buck?
Or do you do whatever it takes-- including selling your soul and sacrificing your very identity-- to make as much of the green as you can. Is that success? Or is that selling out. Can there, in fact, be true success when ethics and integrity are absent? Jerry Maguire Cruise is a high-powered sports agent for a huge agency, handling a portfolio filled with high profile sports figures.
And the name of Jerry's game is money; he gets the big bucks for those he represents, he keeps them in the limelight and in the end pulls down some mighty big bucks for himself and the firm.
But at what price? Who is Jerry Maguire, really? Has he played the chameleon for so long as a means to an end that even he doesn't know who he is anymore? Does he even consider it? One night, he wakes up and happens to look at himself in the mirror, and for whatever reason, it suddenly dawns on him what a selfish, soulless, empty life he is leading. And while still riding the high of his nocturnal enlightenment, he goes to his office, makes copies of his statement and distributes it to the mailboxes of everyone from his boss on down.
Then he goes home and goes to bed. In the cold light of morning, however, he realizes what he's done and races to his office to avert disaster.
Too late. He enters the room to a hail of praise and appreciation from his peers, but his boss is less enthusiastic. But before he leaves, he vows to make it on his own. He's up, he's positive, he has his statement-- and he doesn't have a clue what to do next.
What he does know is that the adventure of a lifetime is awaiting. Crowe's story, as well as the presentation, is original and imaginative, and he fills it with real characters involved in very real situations.
And it's the characters that really sell it, because these are three-dimensional people, not just cardboard cut-outs, and moreover, Cameron knows how to get the best out of his actors to really bring them to life. Tom Cruise was the perfect choice to play Jerry; he has the look, the energy and the talent to get inside this guy's skin and make him tick, and he successfully channels his natural exuberance into his character, tempering his performance just enough to make it really work.
An Oscar nomination does not come cheaply, and Cruise certainly deserved the one he received for his work here. Like Cruise, Gooding is perfectly cast and points up, again, what an acute sense Cameron has for who and what will work to bring his story so convincingly to the screen.
Not to be outdone by her co-stars, Renee Zellweger gives an endearing performance as the vulnerable but steadfast, single mom, Dorothy Boyd. Her reaction, in the scene in which Jerry tells Dorothy-- with his back turned to her-- that he has broken up with his fiancee, Avery Kelly Preston , is priceless, and alone makes this film worth watching repeatedly.
Her work here is every bit as Oscar worthy as Cruise and Gooding's, and it's hard to understand why she was overlooked, as she is such a vital presence in this film.
A triumph for Cameron Crowe, this movie is, indeed, magic. Details Edit. Release date December 13, United States. United States. English American Sign Language. Paco's Tacos - S. TriStar Pictures Gracie Films. Box office Edit.
