You may not be big on documentaries at the movies, and may think they are more PBS than you would like. More Than A Game may charge your mind about that.
MTAG is the story of LeBron James and the "Fab 5" growing up in Akron and telling their story from the gym at the Salvation Army on Maple Street, through the Championships at St. Vincent/St. Mary's High School that caught every one's attention in the country 6 years ago.
This movie started out as a high school class project years ago, has ended up as a real motion picture and still is a "class" project. MTAG is told in a wonderful smooth, modern documentary form. The main principles tell the story the way they saw it and remember it. Featuring all the Fab 5, and coaches. Filmed with Akron as the backdrop, MTAG really captures the moment when the world was watching and learning of Lebron and his team in the early 2000's.
This film is hard to describe, but it should NOT be missed. It is straight-forward and honest. Highly emotional at times, and spot on crisp and clean. With wonderful footage and stills from years past that will make you smile and well up at the same time. This movie doesn't make the big mistake of really being about basketball. It's the story of these kids and what they were all about, where they were from and why things went the way they did, with basketball as the common denominator.
More Than A Game. Limited release....not to be missed. If you have to find a theatre to see it, find it...see it. Very well done. Powerful, local, wonderful.
