Review:
Jerry Maguire remains popular
because of its memorable quotations, including "Show me the money!" (shouted
repeatedly in a phone exchange between Rod Tidwell and Jerry Maguire), "You
complete me", "Help me help you", and "You had me at 'hello'" (said by Dorothy
Boyd after a lengthy romantic plea by Jerry Maguire), and "Kwan" (a word used by
Rod Tidwell meaning love, respect, community, and money; also spelled 'quan' and
'quawn') mentioned by Tidwell to illustrate the difference between himself and
other football players: "Other football players may have the coin, but they
won't have the 'Quan'". These lines are largely attributed to Cameron Crowe,
director and screenwriter of the movie.
The film was well received, with Cuba Gooding, Jr. winning an Academy Award for
Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Rod Tidwell, the Arizona Cardinals
football player who sticks with Maguire. Cruise was also nominated for Best
Actor in a Leading Role and although Renée Zellweger missed out on a nomination
for her portrayal of Dorothy Boyd, it was Zellweger's breakout role. The film
itself was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture, and crew members on
the film were nominated for Best Screenplay and Best Film Editing awards.
In June 2008, AFI revealed its "Ten top Ten"—the best ten films in ten "classic"
American film genres—after polling over 1,500 people from the creative
community. Jerry Maguire was acknowledged as the tenth best film in the sports
genre.
