I have fond memories and it made an impression on me when I saw in theater here in Italy back in the days.

Honestly I dont see the point in labeling a movie within a certain category. I think it was a nice story, not a comedy, more a drama-romance. Some lines became very famous. It gave a clear criticism on shallow or superficial relationship and how it easy in America to trade friendship for money.

Jerry Maguire is a 1996 American romantic comedy-drama sports film written, produced, and directed by Cameron Crowe; it stars Tom Cruise, Cuba Gooding Jr., Renée Zellweger, and Regina King. Produced in part by James L. Brooks, it was inspired by an experience sports agent Leigh Steinberg (who acted as technical consultant for the film) had with client Tim McDonald during the 1993 NFL season when free agency was introduced to the league. The film was also partly inspired by a 28-page memo written at Disney in 1991 by Jeffrey Katzenberg. It was released in North American theaters on December 13, 1996, produced by Gracie Films, and distributed by TriStar Pictures.

I guess it started from the premise that a sports agent's job is interesting enough to make a movie about. Then they added stuff to make it actually interesting.

Its just a rom com/drama not Eraserhead. There's nothing you are missing, you don't have to like it.

It’s a Cameron Crowe movie. It’s just trying to beat you over the head with how cutesy and adorable everything is. That’s why his films are awful

Same. It meant absolutely nothing to me. At this point I still couldn't tell you anything that I thought was memorable in it, or what the point of it was. I also have seen it twice.

So many quotable lines that everyone repeated and parodied to death. Show me the money, help me help you, you had me at hello, who's coming with me, I'm not gonna do what you think I'm gonna do.

It’s a story about two people who really are trying to make sense of who they want to be. With Jerry trying to live up to this idea of perfection and not really liking what’s there. And Dorothy looking longingly at perfection and wanting to be part of it.

Both are kinda stuck in that uncertainty.
