This sports themed edition of Missed It focuses on Jerry Maguire. As a general rule, I have a very balanced opinion of Cameron Crowe. His movies are mildly entertaining and contain enough fluff that they are rarely offensive to anyone. However, the entirety of the cast was enough to put me off of ever wanting to watch it. Granted, Renée Zellweger, Jay Mohr, and Cuba Gooding Jr. have each had a couple good performances in their careers, but none of them lure me into watching a film. Not to mention Donal Logue and Bonnie Hunt. They are something like gods among men, but each barely has three minutes of screen time in this 139 minute film.
