There. I said it. Had a couple of funny spots but it was boring.

I've never gotten the appeal of it either.

Nah but they could probably trim 15-20 minutes.

It was a chick flick disguised as a sports movie.

I mean that’s a Clark Kent level disguise it’s a straight up rom com with a setting that’s in sports.

Movie hasn’t aged well, you can feel the 90s block buster cheese coming through the screen, but it had a massive long term hold on pop culture in a lot of ways, and made guys like Drew Rosenhouse famous. I find that part of it interesting.

dude, it's worth it for the Kelly Preston scene alone. THAT one.

And the 90s cheese is 90s nostalgia.

It doesn't suck.

Some bad takes in this thread.

It's a very good movie.

Nope.

Jerry Maguire and As Good as it Gets are two rom coms that are told from the make point of view.

Yeah nobody really gives a shite about Renee's feelings.

The movie is about Jerry and his happiness.

Shite, Renee is even a surrogate for the bond between Jerry and the boy.

Its not a chick flick until the sloppy haphazard ending.

Its about dudes...in a weird chick flick way. Which makes the movie kinda in no man's land.

Jerry spends 80% of the movie with Rod being an agent...bromancer. And doesn't even really seem to like his wife. Its...sort of...well you know...
