Brand new factory sealed vhs tape is perfect for older model televisions as the full screen image will fill your square screen. The uncompressed audio is also better than the dvd.
Romantic sports comedy focuses on the off-field action and makes the agent the good guy. Risky business in an era of strikes, lockouts, and astronomical salaries, but writer/director Crowe manages to pull it off. Cruise is well used as the title character in the story of a shark-like sports agent who sees the error of his ways and transforms into...a more moral sports agent.
Somewhat forgetting his momentary twinge of honor (which gets him fired from his ultra-huge agency), he allies himself with his obnoxious and least important client Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr.), as well as Dorothy, an adoring young accountant (Rene Zellwegger) with a lovable young son (Jonathan Lipnicki, making a strong bid for Culkin-like stardom).
Famously well-reasearched, film sports great dialogue, talented leads, great supporting cast, and a mega-star currently riding a wave of $100-million-plus films (talk about "show me the money!"). Pop culture bonus points for coining 1996's most memorable catch phrase, which Crowe took from real life ex-Phoenix Cardinal Tim McDonald, and was used to sell everything from magazines to t-shirts.
