Exciting; A modern day love/friend story. Not a family-time movie obviously. If you are looking for just a good time and don’t want to go into anything serious and informative, just something that feels good and free, this is definitely a good choice.
Imdb – 7.4/10

#J4.5/7
It depicts the hectic life of a sports agent very precisely and the performance by Cruise is exceptional. The instances between the kid and Mcguire are lovely. But, what gives energy to this whole film is the chemistry between Cruise and Cuba Gooding Jr. which is just phenomenal.
Imdb – 7.1/10
