Amazon.co.uk Review
Jerry Maguire was a perfect example of a movie that didn't need an original score. Tom Cruise's sports agent belonged to a world of fast-talking and real-time media. So a car stereo library of songs was the better way to go in portraying a blossoming relationship within that world. The album can look like a pooling of two people's collections (his being the recent go-getting variety: Springsteen's "Secret Garden", Aimee Mann's "Wise Up", Rickie Lee Jones' "The Horses"; hers being: The Who's "Magic Bus" and "Getting' In Time", Paul McCartney's "Singalong Junk" and "Momma Miss America", Elvis Presley's "Pocketful of Rainbows"), but fortunately the collection flows smoothly from one to the next. Nancy Wilson's "We Meet Again" is credited as the movie's theme, but just about any would have served the purpose as well.
