A kind of classic of American sports history.

This is one helluva good movie that craves the eyeballs of as many American high schoolers as it can possibly get.

It's the die-hard camaraderie that undergirded this squad and lifted it to the top.

A knockout of a sports documentary. Destined against its will to be known as "the LeBron James movie," it is all that, and a good deal more.

The film is filled with extraordinary characters and equally extraordinary circumstances that Hollywood could craft no better in any feature script.

While More Than a Game is a terrific exhibition of talent, exuberance and skill, it is above all a moving tribute to enduring friendship.

Fascinating not only for its portrait of an emergent--and endearing--superstar, but for the evolution of three teammates the young LeBron came to love, and the hard-driving coach who evolved with them.

Unfortunately, producers (including James) went for the easy layup, showing so much on-court action instead of trying to hustle for insights about sports and society.

A missed opportunity is the effect of the school on the boys, and vice versa. Instead of sociology, More Than a Game focuses on personality.

The art is lacking, but the material is remarkable enough to make up for pedestrian filmmaking.
