Jerry Maguire - 3 stars out of 5 stars

At the end of the day I felt a little dirty at enjoying this film because the main characters are really stupid and almost bad people.The film is also quite long and has no real virtue in morality even passing over concussions as not so worrisome.Thus 2 stars of.Then why watch it at all.Because there are some truly inspired scenes, like at a wedding where  Cuba Gooding Jr.,who plays a pro football wide receiver named Rod Tidwell,is singing his version of Marvin Gaye's soulful"what's going on"to a Marachi band backup.In fact,he just might be the best part of the film.His character is the most real to me.However,there are many better comedies and well unless you LOVE Tom Cruise,who plays the title lead,and love the dirty side of the sports world,see those first.This is a rainy day film.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary below.

When a sports agent has a moral epiphany and is fired for expressing it, he decides to put his new philosophy to the test as an independent with the only athlete who stays with him.
