Some credit must go to director Cameron Crow (Singles) for some some great camera work. You can't help but notice, as a viewer, the expressions and moods caught on tape. These instances had to be captured at precise moments. They make a zealous impact on the movie. I think I've done enough raving about Jerry Maguire. Listen, this movie won't win any Oscars, it's not that kind of movie, but it's a heartwarming tale with great people to bring out its full potential. It's a realistic plot that we can all relate to; that's a rarity these days.

His opinion, though, summed up the majority opinion of the few people who went and saw it at the theater. The special effects and background were great, but the plot was weak.

This is a film that makes you laugh of things that can ... Jones), truly believe he's playing hookey and they both want to nail him in the act. Talk about a dilemma. This is a fine teenage comedy, with well-rounded, intelligent characters, giving Broderick a great starring role.
