'Jerry Maguire'
Jerry Maguire is at the height of his career, working for the top-flight SMI agency, his life is devoted to 72 superstar clients. He's always looking for the
juiciest deal.
But when one of his clients, an ice hockey pro, lies injured in a hospital, the agent suffers a momentary pang of
conscience. Writing up a touchy-feely memo advocating fewer clients and less money, he
impulsively circulates it among his colleagues. The Maguire manifesto, which he instantly
regrets writing, causes his slimy boss to fire him.
Now alone ... which is his biggest fear ... Maguire makes an energetic bid to retain all of his
clients. But he loses everyone except Rod Tidwell, a jive-talking wide receiver who's more
obsessed with making millions than enjoying the game. He has one other ally: The noble
memorandum inspires Dorothy Boyd, a meek accountant at SMI and a single
mother, to volunteer to work with him in his fledgling agency. -- Desson Howe
