Quarterback Princess

A Good Movie That Is Loosely Based On A True Story!
I like Helen Hunt, she is one of my favorite actresses I have seen several of the made for television movies that she had made when she was a kid and a teenager and The Quarterback Princess was one of my favorites and I would like to see this movie put on DVD! Okay, I don't think it's fair to jump to conclusions that Tammy and her family had anything to do with the changes in her story that the film makers made. They always take true stories and make changes and the story always comes out loosely based on the true stories so it may be possible that the Maidas didn't even know that the movie was going to not tell the full story and honestly I really I don't give a fig that the movie isn't 100% faithful to the actual story about Tammy! Not only do I think this movie should be on DVD but her other old made for television movies should be on DVD too, especially The inspirational movie The Miracle of Kathy Miller which is also a fact based movie!

Great family video
This is a great family video for all ages. My kids watched it years ago on TV and have asked for it numerous times - you can't find it in video stores and it hasn't been on TV in the last 7 years.

generally good.
I wasn't old enough to catch this when it first aired, but Encore's True Stories channel recently covered the made for t.v. movie. Although it isn't of the best film quality, the moral is strong and universal: never listen to the flock, it tends to lead you astray. It's also interesting to see Helen Hunt in her pre-Mad About You days. However, when watching this true story about a teenage girl who longs to play football in a small town, don't expect modern Hollywood special effects or a deep philosophical script; what you expect from 1983 made-for-tv is exactly what you get.
