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!

This film is a great film for all the girls out there who wanted to play football but wasn't allowed. Excellent for a rainy day. Way to go Helen Hunt..

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.

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.

I saw this movie well over a decade ago, and was fortunate enough that my father taped it for me and my sister. Years later, my sister accidently taped over it and the family really misses it. Not just us girls either -- it's also one of my father's favorite movies! It is one of the best, most influential and most memorable movies that I have ever seen! A high school girl who was pretty but not gorgeous, had talent and courage, learned self-assertiveness, and showed maturity and growth. I have not seen the movie in a decade and I *still* remember it quite vividly. It's just a phenomenal movie that's worth seeing at least once. If I remember correctly, it's based on a true story. I wish I could describe the impact it had on me... the only word that keeps coming to mind is: WOW. If you can't buy it, at least watch it!!!

This film was fun for me as it was filmed at my High shcool. McMinnville High School in McMinnville Oregon. Many of the locals were not happy with the depiction of our townspeople. But hey, it's a movie. I enjoy the sites from around the town I grew up in and think the story is cool. It's fine movie for family entertainment.

Having been in school with Tami at the time, I didn't really care for the movie, nor did anyone else I know for that matter. For the record, she faced no obstacles, her endeavor was supported by her classmates and the town, and she was QB for the freshman team. She was the freshman class' homecoming princess though, and she was a very sweet girl. After only 1 year in Philomath, her family moved back to Canada.

The picture quality was good for being a rental VHS. Hadn't seen this movie since it was originally shown on TV

Quarterback Princess was very hard to find am so glad to receive it in such good shape. We watch it all the time.

Very poor quility but seller was very quick to respond and return money. Now we still don't have a movie we really like.
