Hotshot professional sports agent Tom Cruise gets fired after publishing a memo deriding the greed of the profession. He manages to retain one client, an equally flamboyant football player, and one employee, who is secretly in love with him. Those two relationships take similar arcs: his business relationship with the client becomes more personal, while the one with the employee becomes more romantic. Cruise's over-the-top performance will either win you over or leave you flabbergasted at his lack of self-control, but maybe that's the point of his character. After two hours, though, I had had enough of one Jerry Maguire.
