Jerry McGuire as a Romantic Comedy....??

It states in "Romantic Comedy: BOy Meets Girl Meets Genre" that Jerry McGuire is
considered a romantic comedy. I have to beg to differ, I believe it is closer to a romantic
drama. The funniest part of the film was the little boy making random coments.

"A Romantic Comedy is a film which has as its central narrative motor a quest for love,
which portrays this quest in a light-hearted way and almost always to a successful
conclusion" (9). The film may be a quest for love, but love of what? First it was Jerry's
love and passion in his mission statement to have fewer clients and make less money,
then it was his love for his only client, then love for the only person who believed in him>
hence probably why he became interested in her.

Jerry McGuire should not be considered a romantic comedy only because while a man
who is lost finds a girl who is infactuated with him. Is he selfish? I think so... and because
he is selfish, he eventually gets the girl back and his career back as well.
