Critics Consensus: Although Shooting Stars isn't without its engaging moments, this dramatized look back at LeBron James' early years is less entertaining than simply watching him play.

Reviews

Laramie Movie Scope

Robert Roten

This movie is similar to other sports-centered biographical dramas, but it is different in that LeBron James, and even basketball itself, both are benched in favor of showing how friendship, teamwork and family help people overcome life's challenges.

A most conventional TV film... [Full review in Spanish]

With James’ Springhill Company behind the movie, we only see the sweet friendships, the glory of victory, and of course, James’ iconic celebrity. Too bad a lay-up of a biography isn’t interesting at all.

Every moment and image is so perfectly shaped and presented, and rings so true, that you can imagine the same story being told, beat-for-beat, with a cast of invented characters and being every bit as satisfying.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

LaNeysha Campbell

Shooting Stars is more than just a retelling of LeBron’s inspiring rise to fame and basketball prowess. At its core, this film is about friendship, cherishing those bonds, and growing up.
