Notes:
A journey made possible by the on-the-court brilliance of a very young LeBron James and his teammates, and the off-the-court dedication of Coach Dru Joyce, who assembles the team to forge a bond with his son and along the way becomes an omnipresent mentor, and coach, to five talented but tough-luck kids.
Drama - While centering on NBA superstar LeBron James's high school days,
this documentary is not so much about basketball but about
friendship with his teammates and the story of his coach. As such,
this inspiring has a lot of appeal beyond sports fans and for
moviegoers both young and old.
USA TodayFull Review Good While More Than a Game is a terrific exhibition of talent, exuberance and skill, it is above all a moving tribute to enduring friendship.
