I cannot stop listening to this song. I’m adding this to the list of songs to put in my future movie/tv show…. I dont even care if American Dad already used it.
Mumm-ra? Who the F is Mumm-Ra
Every time I listen to a song, especially “She’s got you high”, that was in 500 Days of Summer I get pissed because someone used the song perfectly in a movie before I could.

Jerry Maguire Goes Both Ways
Tonight me and my roommates were flipping through channels and ended up on Jerry Maguire. We caught the from when Rods wife starts going into labor at an applebees (or some other place with those industry standard plastic Coca-cola cups) to the end. I’ve always thought of Jerry Maguire as more of a chick flick. Now I’ve seen Jerry Maguire multiple times, but just watching the last thirty minutes made me wonder which gender demographic this movie caters to more. The end consists of Rod’s epic touchdown catch and the “you..complete..me” in front of a bunch of men haters. I’ve decided to break down how this movie is gender neutral by marking aspects of the movie with the gender they adhere to.
Main Character
Jerry Maguire (Neutral) - Women think he is an adorable romantic, men think he has a badass job and gets hot chicks.
Dorothy Boyd (Females) - A sweet, innocent, young single mother, risking a lot for a shot at love.
Rod Tidwell (Males) - Masculine, Athletic, Outspoken, and can wear a blazer with no shirt underneath. Men wish they could be him.
Dorothy’s Family (Females) - The quirky sister and cute son, instantly warm the hearts of the ladys.
Jerry’s Job (Males) - Most men would kill to work with Pro athletes all the time. He makes great money, gets free stuff, and is friends with famous athletes… I need to change my major.
Directed by Cameron Crowe (Neutral) - The guy can make great movies. Fast times. Say Anything. Almost Famous. Vanilla Sky. They guy makes great movies that everyone can enjoy.
Soundtrack (Neutral) - This was interesting because Crowe movies always put contain a phenomenal soundtrack, but the most famous song of the movie is kind of cheesy. The beat kicks in during a romantic scene sending the cheesiness up but once the lyrics come in, a switch pops in everyones head. ”Holy shit, this is Springsteen”. And that immediately makes it a great song. The Boss makes a romantic scene manly,
I’ll say this, Cameron Crowe knows how to make a damn good movie that can be loved by anyone with good taste in movies, no matter if your male or female.
Thank you for reading my argument to myself on why I shouldn’t feel like less of a man for thoroughly enjoying Jerry Maguire.
Also, most underrated part of the movie is the end when Rod is being interviewed and told about his new contract. In the interview Rod is wearing a suit coat with only bare chest underneath. Then the interviewer mentions his brother, who “lost his leg in a bass fishing accident”. And finally when he thanks his young brother, Teepee (the funniest character in the movie), saying, “I know your militant, but i still love you”, while Teepee pounds his fist against his heart and holds it up. High comedy.
