Sports agent Jerry Maguire has a professional epiphany that gets him fired. He enters serious personal relationships with his last client and one employee who left with him, and together they all achieve athletic success and personal happiness.
- macintux 10y agoLeaving out the part where he effectively abandoned his last client in the quest for the holy grail (#1 QB who stabbed him in the back) and did abandon his relationship with his employee (don't remember why, couldn't watch the whole thing without fast forwarding). It's a memorable movie and a notably unmemorable movie.

Or to paraphrase the Late Great Dicky Fox: "If the heart is empty, the head doesn't matter." I dunno, I loved the movie. I avoided it for years because I expected a cheesy comedy chick-flick romance (and it is), but instead I found a great representation of the bootstrapped "escape from cubicle nation" story that hits harder the older I get. From the idealistic naivety to the fumbling along, being scrappy & taking unconventional directions to keep things afloat. I've watched it at least as many times now as I've seen The Social Network.
