What about Jerry MaGuire? He played a complete loser in that movie....Notably, this threw me the first time that I saw the flic. In fact, I didn't really get his character the first time because of the contradiction between his character (basically a pitiful, amorphous, fU*$-up) and the typical Tom Cruise character (basically a hot-shot, underdog with natural skill....if only he could learn patience and harness his talent...)
