- 100VarietyVarietyA kind of classic of American sports history.
- 90The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThis is one helluva good movie that craves the eyeballs of as many American high schoolers as it can possibly get.
- 83Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanIt's the die-hard camaraderie that undergirded this squad and lifted it to the top.
- 80Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranLos Angeles TimesKenneth TuranA 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.
- 75USA TodayClaudia PuigUSA TodayClaudia PuigWhile More Than a Game is a terrific exhibition of talent, exuberance and skill, it is above all a moving tribute to enduring friendship.
- 70Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternWall Street JournalJoe MorgensternFascinating 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.
- 60The New York TimesA.O. ScottThe New York TimesA.O. ScottThe art is lacking, but the material is remarkable enough to make up for pedestrian filmmaking.
- 58The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThe A.V. ClubScott TobiasBelman 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. He cares most about what happens on the court, which is diverting and fun as far as it goes, but not close to the whole story.
- 40Village VoiceVillage VoiceGood game footage, a few clear looks at the kids behind it, but mostly as processed as "Space Jam."
