Went to see this last night, and enjoyed it, *especially* the performance of 
the female lead, Jerry's assistant.  Luminous!

I struggled all through the movie to place the older sister (Bonnie Hunt). 
And I noticed in the credits that Eric Stolz was in there somewhere, but now 
I'm stumped to figure out which role!

    He played a character named "Vahlere" - a bit of an inside joke on
    Cameron Crowe's part because this is the same character he played in
    the movie "Say Anything".

I thought it was pretty good. I expected to see more of the sleazy money
grubbing marketing/sales side of the business, though. Sortof like the "Greed is
good" dirty dealings in "Glengarry Glen Ross" or "Wall Street".

There was a story in Sports Illustrated not long ago entitled "The Most Feared
Man in Sports". It was about an a very ambitious sports agent whose clients were
among the most highly paid in their sports (and he got a percentage, naturally).
I thought that they should've demonstrated why Jerry had his revelation and
wrote the imfamous "memo".
