Cruise is a struggling sports agent who begins a complicated relationship with his assistant and her young son.

This very mainstream romantic comedy does have splashes of drama and Cuba Gooding, Jr. is a joy to watch. It tires very hard to appeal to both women and men by combining a love story with a sports background. But it should appeal especially to fans of romantic comedies.

Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor (Gooding, Jr)

Directed by Cameron Crowe.

By the way, Bruce Springsteen's Secret Garden was a fine song without the awful audio remixing.
