So there's this sports agent, Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise), and he's got a pretty sweet deal going on. He's great at his job and it earns him a lot of money and respect, he's engaged to hot redheaded Avery Bishop (Kelly Preston) and has an admiring protege in Bob Sugar (Jay Mohr). Then the son of a client with a concussion tells him off. This leads to a nervous breakdown which turns to an epiphany where he realizes how disingenuous and corrupt the sports agent business is. He tries to be friends with everyone, only to see he was helping a lot of self-centered Jerkasses get away with illegal and immoral acts while making millions of dollars.He writes a manifesto on what we think but don't say, which he passes out to his entire firm. But there is a reason we don't say those things, and he is fired in short order. Losing his clients, future clients and his fiancee, his only solace is retaining a single athlete, football player Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr..), and inspiring a secretary at the firm, Dorothy Boyd (Renée Zellweger), to join with him. Tidwell is a talented athlete but has a far greater ego, making his upcoming contract re-negotiation a nail biter. Jerry and Dorothy soon fall for each other, but they wonder if it's true love or one of convenience and consideration of her young son Ray (Jonathan Lipnicki).Written and directed by Cameron Crowe, this 1996 romantic comedy-drama sports film is noted for its feel-good factor, placement way up on the idealistic end on the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism, and use of many memorable quotes like Tidwell's repeated use of "SHOW ME THE MONEY!".

Celebrity Resemblance: While Rod is looking with dismay at Cushman's huge fan turnout, he sees two kids approach him... because, as a tall, stocky, light-skinned black man with a beard, wearing grungy clothes and a trucker hat, he accidentally looks a little like Darius Rucker. He tells him with much annoyance that he is not "Hootie".

David Versus Goliath
 Jerry Maguire / int_1b3b48f3
comment
David Versus Goliath: The Cardinals are a perennial loser; the Big Game at the climax of the film is against the Dallas Cowboys, at the time the movie was made a powerhouse coming off of winning three Super Bowl championships in four years.note Ironically, the Cowboys have never reached the Super Bowl since with many concluding their astonishing success was only due to legendary coach Tom Landry, while the Cardinals have, albeit only once, and they lost.

The Cameo
 Jerry Maguire / int_1b65dfad
comment
The Cameo: Loads and loads of them, mostly by famous athletes, coaches, broadcasters, and other sports figures. Leigh Steinberg, the Real Life agent who loosely inspired the character of Jerry Maguire, appears near the end as Troy Aikman's agent. For non-sports figures, Jann Wenner plays Jerry's boss at SMI, writer Winnie Holzman (My So-Called Life) is one of the women in Laurel's divorced women's group, director Mark Pellington plays the director of Jerry's bachelor party video, Jerry Cantrell plays the clerk working at Kinko's who copies Jerry's mission statement, and Eric Stoltz plays Ethan Vahlere (the same character he played in Say Anything...), the host of Jerry's bachelor party.

Fourth-Date Marriage: Seemingly deconstructed at first - Jerry and Dorothy do seem to fall in love and marry awfully quickly, but it proves to be the bad idea that it is Real Life when their relationship falls apart after they've tied the knot. Eventually reconstructed when they reconcile after Jerry's big "you complete me" speech at the end of the movie.

Character Development

comment
Character Development: Each of the main characters gets some: Jerry starts off "great at friendship, bad at intimacy", but learns to open up emotionally as the film goes on, to the point where he gives a heartfelt love confession in front of an entire room full of strangers at the end of the movie. Dorothy initially prioritizes simply having a responsible man in her life, and is happy to have someone like Jerry even interested in her, but she eventually realizes and asserts her need for more than that. Rod's initial self-absorption and focus on his contract and endorsement opportunities wane and he becomes less of a "paycheck player" as the movie goes on, partially as a result of Jerry's advice to him.

Lousy Lovers Are Losers: Despite Avery being a wild and vigorous lover, this doesn't make her a Sex Goddess as Jerry finds her too rough and she often runs him ragged, clearly only caring about her own needs.

Homage: According to Word of God, the scene of Jerry and Dorothy looking at each other from across the street right before they go out to dinner is an homage to the pilot of My So-Called Life when Angela and Brian are looking across the street from one another. Also, Jerry and Dorothy making out on her porch is an homage to a similar scene in The More the Merrier between Jean Arthur and Joel McCrea.

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male
 Jerry Maguire / int_c0e3994b
comment
Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: When Jerry breaks up with Avery, she responds by punching him twice in the face. While not exactly Played for Laughs, the abuse is trivialised and this trope is presumably the reason Jerry does not slap her with assault charges. She becomes a Karma Houdini for the stunt too. To a lesser extent, Marcee assaults Rod's brother when she gets annoyed at his nasty attitude during the final game.

Uncomfortable Elevator Moment: While riding the elevator together, Jerry and Dorothy observe a deaf couple signing to each other. When Jerry wonders what they were saying, Dorothy, who knows sign language because her aunt was hearing impaired, tells him that the guy told his girlfriend "you complete me". As there is already a bit of Unresolved Sexual Tension between the two of them, much awkwardness ensues.

Artistic License – Sports: A very minor example, but at one point the Cardinals play the Philadelphia Eagles, who on the field are dressed in the their pre-1995 Kelly green uniforms, while the team's logo in the owner's box from which Jerry is watching the game is the current one they've used since 1996, which is paired with midnight green uniforms. While the NFL would eventually allow teams to play in "throwback" uniforms using previous color schemes, this rule was not in effect at the time the movie was made.
