ReviewsAmazing Insight Into What Shapes PeopleReview date: 2010-05-28 Rating: 10 out of 10Let me start off my review by saying that I have not been an active fan of basketball for several years now. I wound up watching this film because it received excellent reviews and my students are always talking about Lebron James, so I took it as an excellent opportunity to learn more about this young man at the center of all the hype. Having watched the dvd, I am just amazed at not only the skill and athleticism displayed by Mr. James, but the caliber of the character demonstrated by him, his teammates and his coaches. This is more than a basketball documentary , it's a life-lesson documentary that provides the added bonus of amazing footage of someone whose skills as a youngster clearly out-ranked many who play the sport professionally (to say the least, Mr. James is clearly most worthy of the praise heaped upon him). If you have kids, get More than a Game and use it as a sounding board for honest discussions with your kids. If you just love sports, get it because the footage is spectacular.Lives Up to Its TitleReview date: 2010-05-27 Rating: 10 out of 10I don't care who you are, this is a great movie. It's inspiring, it has real drama, and it's all true. It's nice to learn more about Lebron James, but this isn't the Lebron James Story; it's about friendship, family, faith, teamwork, and sacrifice. It's about a group of inner city kids who play basketball, but it doesn't rely on sex, drugs, gangs, murder, or even profanity. It's just great storytelling, without embellishment or added "spice."
I coach tennis at an exclusive private school in California and I'm actually going to show this movie to my girls. Even though the settings are worlds apart, the movie's message is universal and I know my players will love the story and they'll learn from it. Meanwhile, More Than A Game has shown me how to be a better coach, and I'll have an excuse to watch it again, too.
The fact that director Kristopher Belman was a college student when he began the project makes it all the more remarkable.Great movieReview date: 2010-04-23 Rating: 10 out of 10I thought it was going be about Lebron but it was actually about his friends. Yea hes a big part of the movie but you will learn about his fab 5 friends. If your a Lebron fan like I am you will enjoy the movie. You get to see old tapes of Lebron and get a little background information. Lebron still looks the same way, its funny see him as a kid and he sticks out at a young age.Very pleasedReview date: 2010-04-09 Rating: 10 out of 10Not only is this an amazing documentary but the seller lived up to his words. I received it earlier than expected and in great condition. Will buy from this seller again
