A good movie

I already saw this movie but since it was such a long time ago, I thought I might as well check it out again. Back then, Cameron Crowe was quite a successful director and this movie was another critical and commercial success. To be honest, I never really understood what was really the fuss about this flick (it was even nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award). Sure, it was a decent watch and it was quite entertaining but I can't say I was really blown away by the whole thing. I mean, I have to admit it though, the concept did have some potential and the whole focus on the world of sports agents was pretty neat. Tom Cruise, who was at the top of his game at the time, was also a perfect choice to play the lead. The whole thing did seem to be quite genuine but, fairly early on, it became quite obvious that this movie was in fact basically a romantic-comedy. Actually, I have to admit that it was actually a pretty good one but I don’t think it was anything really groundbreaking. On top of that, there is absolutely no reason that such a romantic-comedy should have a running time of 140 mins. Anyway, to conclude, even though I think it is overrated, it is still a pretty good flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
