A sports agent's crisis of conscience sparks a heartwarming journey of love and unexpected loyalty.

Feel-good and romantic, with dry wit. A date-night pick at a measured pace. Emotionally it is heavy.

What is Jerry Maguire about?

Jerry Maguire used to be a typical sports agent: willing to do just about anything he could to get the biggest possible contracts for his clients, plus a nice commission for himself. Then, one day, he suddenly has second thoughts about what he's really doing. When he voices these doubts, he ends up losing his job and all of his clients, save Rod Tidwell, an egomaniacal football player.

Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)

Yes. It lands on a happy note.
