Reviews
The film was described as funny and romantic. The magazine TV Movie (05 /1997) praised the work of director Cameron Crowe and the play of Tom Cruise.
" Thanks to an outstanding launched Tom Cruise, this is a thrilling comedy about the meaning of life. However, we learn very little about the work of a sports agent - Cruise could work well in the financial business. Nevertheless, the comedy presents some good sports scenes that make the audience suffer with quite the football player. Good secondary characters and original details round off the pleasure. "
