sports agent, one who represents many superstar clients while securing
them large amounts of money from team-owners and endorsement packages.
At the outset of the story, Jerry has a crisis of conscience that
causes him to stay up all night and write a long mission statement
entitled “The Things We Think and Do Not Say: The Future of Our
Business”, encouraging his company to shift their attitude and focus
on fewer clients and take less money. Shortly after distributing his
memo, he recognizes that he has committed corporate suicide.
Jerry's midnight scribbling causes him to be fired within the
week, thus forcing him to confront the wisdom of his ideals. Only two
other people flock to his camp: Dorothy Boyd (Rene Zellweger), a
secretary and a single mother who fell in love with Jerry, and Rod
Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr.), a second-tier wide receiver for the
Arizona Cardinals.
Starting a new company isn't easy for Jerry as he lost nearly all
of his clients. Jerry determines to take his one client to the top.
Cuba Gooding, Jr. practically steals the show as the ball player with
a mouth and attitude as big as his heart. Under the influence of his
ennobling new feelings, Jerry helps Rod learn to play from the heart
and not just from the mind and the pocketbook, and Rod's loving family
inspires Jerry to return home to his wife.
The film is often a delight, especially when Cruise and Zellweger
are together on the screen. Tom Cruise plays Maguire with the
earnestness of a man who wants to find greatness and happiness in an
occupation where only success really counts. Rene Zellweger plays a
woman who believes in this guy she loves, and reminds us that true
love is about idealism. Cuba Gooding Jr.’s electric performance
earned him an academy award, Gooding's outbursts, both of temperament
and exhilaration, provide some of the film's most satisfying moments.
在《甜心先生》中，由汤姆-克鲁斯主演的Jerry Maguire，是国际体育运动
管理公司的一名顶级经纪人，深深了解这一行的他是这一行中的佼佼者。他代表
许多体育大明星, 为他们争取高额的体育和广告合同。一个休息日的夜晚，他即
兴写下一篇使命宣言，该宣言为体育运动管理公司辉煌的未来提出了激动人心但
不切实际的建议。同时又做出了理想主义的论断即公司应该重质量而不是数量，
应将精力集中在关心少数真正有价值的委托人身上。
不幸的是，在发表了这一宣言一周之后，Jerry便被国际体育运动管理公司
无礼地解雇了。被剥夺了工作、自尊和好身份之后的杰里处境十分糟糕，他被迫
一切从零开始，自己当起老板来。使他十分意外的是，两个同盟军加入了他的公
司。一个是杰里原来的助手罗德，他渴望成为Jerry那样的人物，便坚决地留在
了杰里身边。
起初现实並未如想像中顺利，Jerry到处碰壁，脾气火爆的Rod又不肯好好合
作。但经过努力Jerry 和Rod成为了极好朋友。Jerry 帮助Rod 重新燃起了他对
足球的热爱, 而Rod 也帮助Jerry 回到了爱人的身旁。
这部影片在很多时候会给观众带来非常温馨的感觉，尤其是描述男女主人公
在一起的镜头。Tom cruise演的Maguire是想从工作中找到快乐和成就的人，
Rene Zellweger 扮演了一个相信并非常支持丈夫的女人。 在影片中，Cuba
Gooding Jr的精彩表演也为他自己赢得了奥斯卡最佳男配角奖。他那富有激情的
表演也给这部电影带来了许多欢乐的场面。
