An inspiring, heart-warming film on women and football
Quarterback Princess is an inspiring movie. The story takes you through a young girl's struggle to achieve her dream...of being a high school quarterback. You become so engrossed in this movie you root Tami (Helen Hunt) on as if you were part of this story. Tami Maida and her family move from Canada so her father can finish school. Tami desperately wants to be part of the Grizzly Football team. Many people in the town try to disband this idea, they even suggest she can be a cheerleader, but she is given a try-out. To everyone's surprise Tami is an excellent quarterback. The film looks at how everyone treats her different. Her teammates treat her as a football player, her classmates treat her as an outcast, and her boyfriend doesn't know how to treat her, as a girl or a football player? This film will make you want to be one of Tami's supporters and will pull at your heart-strings
