More Than a Game Ratings & Reviews
Detroit News
Tom Long
Expertly orchestrated and unavoidably moving, More Than a Game is nevertheless your standard inspirational sports story about spunky kids who defy the odds to become champions.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
More Than a Game is more than a feature-length profile of LeBron James, and that's good news.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
The filmmakers go a little too far with the superlatives, at times trying to portray these gifted and often immature players as bigger underdogs than they appear to be in real life. But the movie is comprehensive and interesting...
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Like a gambler with an inside bet, you can know the final score, but still enjoy every second of the game.
Seattle Times
Ted Fry
Utterly captivating for the humanity at its core.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
What's almost as impressive as James's talent on the court is his poise and character.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
You'd be hard-pressed to find a better documentary about on-court dynamics and off-court camaraderie; but as journalism, it's less than thorough.
Slate
Josh Levin
While More Than a Game succeeds in depicting the friends' deep mutual affection, the edges of the LeBron James story are too often smoothed to a dull, inspirational point.
At the Movies
Michael Phillips
Around the halfway point when the LeBron James crew runs into some adversity beyond the socioeconomic circumstances that get short shrift in the movie, it starts getting pretty good.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
The footage is terrific, and all the guys make for charismatic heroes. But Belman barely addresses the stories happening off the court.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
It's always risky to mix sports metaphors, but it's hard to resist the notion that the basketball-themed More Than a Game is a knockout of a sports documentary.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
A superb, slam-dunk documentary about young boys achieving personal and team goals on the basketball court.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Sometimes the narrative suffers from a surfeit of hindsight -- earnest sermonizing on the importance of friendship, family and dedication in the boys' development. The sermons are worthy ones, though, and Mr. Belman's film dramatizes what it preaches.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
There's no "I" in team. But there are two in stultifying.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
evoted fans of the game, and especially of LeBron James, will love More Than a Game. The skeptical and the curious may find themselves wanting more.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
It's an inspiring tale not just for lovers of basketball, although the games featured are so thrilling and tense that it's a challenge to remain sitting placidly in one's seat.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Belman doesn't look into the bigger problems of James' team jet-setting across the country during the school year, or the spectacle allowed to build up around him.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
More Than a Game is a documentary, but it's every inch a triumph-of-the-underdogs fairy tale.
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
Good game footage, a few clear looks at the kids behind it, but mostly as processed as Space Jam.
