NOTES A sports agent (Cruise) loses his job for speaking his mind

and is left with just one loyal client, a reasonably good

footballer. He is followed out of the firm's door by an

accountant ( a single mother played by Renee Zellweger) who believes in his 'mission statement'. The film is about the agent's struggle to get the footballer's contract extended and the change of Cruise's romantic attachment from his beautiful fiancee to the less attractive but committed accountant.

A complex romantic comedy which mostly succeeds.

There is a very short scene in a lift which Cruise and

Zellweger share with a deaf couple. They are signing to each

other. When they get out Cruise wonders what they said.

Zellweger answers (she says she has a relative who is deaf)

"You complete me".
