Quarterback Princess is Fantastic
The Quarterback Princess was released many years ago, and I have always wished that I had a copy of it. I was so happy when it was released again, and especially on DVD.This movie depicts how difficult it was for females to play in sports, and the negative comments and bullying that came from all of this.This movie was extremely fantastic, and it produced a great deal of emotions for me. It was nice to see that not only could Tammi play football, but she led them through the playoffs. It is a wonderful movie and parents should show it to their kids.I highly recommend this movie for all audiences.

would do it again
One of my favorite movies & my kids loved it!! The quality was great I would totally order it again !! Thank you thank you!! I ordered from another place 4 years ago & they sent me the wrong movie! I email them over & over no response. I even tracked down a phone # called then several times no response. So needless to say I was worried once I placed this order . Once it arrived & I saw the cover I got butterflies in my stomach! Lol :-)

Great film - HUP!
I watched this "made for TV" film with my kids in the '80s. I can't recall...may have been an After School Special. In any case, it is the true account of Tami Maida's struggle to be allowed to play football with the all guy team. The story was fairly current with the actual events. Tami had to dodge sexual prejudice, school politics, peer pressure, etc to be allowed to play Quarterback. With a lot of spunk, a supportive family, and some real talent, this young lady (played by Helen Hunt in a very early role) beat the odds and won the respect of a great many people. I remember all of us (two sons, a daughter, and myself) crying at the end. FYI, I still cry at the ending. I just sent a copy to my grandaughter. She's a "tough nut", but she might crack and she'd a few tears with her Mom! Well worth watching.

Love Helen Hunt and this movie
My neice got me into this movie when she was a early teenager, she is old now. I love this movie and watch it quite often now. Great movie and story line is true. Helen Hunt is great and young in this movie and I love her in it and the boys who play football are good in this movie also. Great directing.

Love it!
My dvd arrived in perfect condition and on time. I watched the movie the first night I had it, and it worked fantastically! :) The quality is excellent and so was the price. I am very happy to have found this long lost favorite movie of mine, that I couldn't find for years. Thank-you! :)
