"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
Jerry Maguire | 1996 | R | - 5.2.7
Tom Cruise is sports agent Jerry Maguire who gets an attack of conscience and must then put his money where his mouth is.
SEX/NUDITY 5 - Sexual innuendo, kissing. Cruise kisses Renee Zellweger's shoulder and chest and moves down her clothed body, while putting his hand on her chest. A few male bare buttocks in locker rooms, and a few shots of apparent frontal male nudity (but they're in shadow so nothing is clearly seen). Cruise and Kelly Preston sit naked talking at a table but arms and legs are strategically placed so nothing is seen. Preston and Cruise have sex complete with thrusting and moaning. The sides of her breasts are visible. Cruise and Zellweger have sex but we only see them kissing with him on top of her.

VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - Pratfalls, pummeling, sports-related injuries. Preston punches and kicks Cruise and he later sports a bruised/cut eye.
LANGUAGE 7 - 15+ F-words (a few times said by children) and an obscene gesture, many scatological references, a few anatomical references and a few milder obscenities.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Sports agent work and sports, losing your job, integrity.
MESSAGE - You have to be true to yourself.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
