I watched this movie hundreds of times, but i have never been able to find where the song "Wise Up" by Aimee Mann plays in the movie. The song is on the soundtrack album, but does anyone know where I can find the song in the movie?
From ptanderson.com:
“Aimee Mann sang the song “Wise up” to me a few years ago. At the time, Cameron Crowe was to use it in his film Jerry Maguire (starring Tom Cruise). In the end, he called Aimee to say that the song didn’t fit with the overall mood of his film (the demo version that she had given him was sadder than the finished track). But that he wanted to put the song on the soundtrack album anyway. When Aimee told me this, I remember thinking: “What an idiot! Why didn’t he use it?” I hadn’t even seen Jerry Maguire! That’s when I told Aimee: “One day, I’m going to use your song in one of my films!”

I've seen "Wise Up" play on the soundtrack during some cable tv showings of the film. They play it after Jerry and Dorothy momentarily break up. I have to say though, that the song has found a much more apporpriate home in Magnolia.
