Gotta say, I LOVE the respect and honor her teammates had. The ones who you'd assume to be the most threatened by her were the only ones, along with her family, who accepted and actively supported her. When they went to get her a dress, that was very moving. Love the demonstration of strong men who aren't intimidated by strong women. Such a good message!!
The sister was not very supportive, though. I would always buckle under and take a step back when my siblings and friends would get jealous. It's nice to see how determined this girl was. I have been jealous of others, too, but they were smart enough to brush it off.
You may imagine my surprise today when laying on the sofa here in Iceland, on day 7 of Covid fever, when I stumbled upon this movie. I had never heard of it before. I clicked and started watching. As soon as I heard Oregon - memories came back from my year as an AFS exchange student, in a high school in Oregon in 1978. So I paused deciding to click "more" and read up on the movie. When I got to the part of "Tami Maida who played football in the small town of Philomath" - I positively got goose bumps. I couldn't believe it. Philomath High (in a town of around 1.500 at that time), is where I spent my exchange student year, graduating with a High School diploma in the spring of 1978. And I had never heard of Tami - who was there three years later, playing with some of the guys that were freshmen on the team, when I was there. Unbeliveable coincidence. Made my day 😀.
Wow !!!!! A young Helen Hunt and Daphne Zuniga!!!! I guess Im showing my age because I know who those actresses are!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂 Wow this is the first time I have seen this movie!!!!😊😊😊
This is such a sweet movie!!!! Wow!!! I really love the mother too,... I would say this to my daughters "You can do anything, you can have everything… the trouble is that attitudes just haven’t kept up with the opportunities" , this movie is so inspirational!
I remember years ago my parents watching this movie. I only saw the last few minutes but have kind of wanted to watch it ever since. I had no idea that it was based on a true story.
Helen Hunt is perfect for this part as Tami playing on the men's high school football team. She was brave and determined and turned out to be an asset to the team. There was a lot of news commotion in the town and much laughter to endure. She was gracious and stayed focused and a good example for anyone who is different in their chosen field to emulate.
what an amazing young woman tami maida was to be so brave and so sure of herself at such a young age what an inspiration this woman is for young people everywhere.
This is a great movie. I am surprised to have never seen this. The story is also fantastic. The entire cast played their parts very well. I was surprised at how well the team players adapted and were proud to be playing with such a good Quarterback especially being a woman. The townspeople really came out in support as well. This movie is truly deserving of a 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating with an all-star cast.
My mom and the '40s used to go to a boxing club where her brother and my uncle needs to box, now he taught her how to fight and she became so good that the boxing coach would use her as a spring partner for the lighter weight boxes there. She wanted to box in the ring but at that time there was no way that was going to happen. My mom just passed away at 83 years old and she was way ahead of her time and what she thought about what women can do. Heck, she was The first person in our family that my and I brothers used to arm wrestle because she used to drive a 57 station wagon with no power steering and we had a hard time beating her
I saw this movie as a kid and I can highly relate to this. Back then, there were hardly any women sports. We had to choose from a limited number of sports. I remember in middle school, my school only had the option of us playing volleyball, which I hated. After complaining. complaining and complaining, we finally convinced our PE teacher to let us play soccer. The school had the fields and only the boys were allowed to play.
We must have been ahead of you. By 1983 (junior high for me), girls did most sports boys did. I did Judo and about 20% of the club were female. I had a girl on a baseball team. I knew several girls who played ice hockey. School had soccer, basketball, touch (flag) football, track, floor hockey, gymnastics, swimming, etc. The only big sports I know the girls didn't do was rugby and wrestling. Then again, the boys didn't do field hockey. There were girls at school who used the weight room. Soccer was huge for girls. We had separate boys/girls classes until PE 12, which was co-ed but included all sorts of fun sports/games -- golf, tennis, broomball, bowling, skiing, ping pong, swimming, etc. I remember seeing the movie and the girl playing football thing wasn't that big of a deal even then. Personally, the fact that a Canadian family was playing football in high school was. This is not a sport widely played in Canadian schools.
I remember this story when it happened. I figured it would end up pretty much the way it did. But I never watched the movie until now, and honestly, I watched it because I'm a Helen Hunt fan. It's pretty good. I should have watched it sooner.
Fabulous film ! What a story. Without films like this, real stories wouldn't be known at all! Great cast.. Technical stuff by Tami herself.. wow 😍 I know nothing about American Football, but the premise resonates with me. I joined a female Basketball team at school in the 90s, but there weren't enough of us to make the league. We weren't allowed to play with the men/boys on their team even if we wanted to, and Basketball is a minimal contact sport ! 🙄🤔 This story is really special. Thank you for this upload ❤
@@brucehallett7523 Thank you .. But I live in the UK ! American football.. Canadian football.. All the same to me... I don't know the rules ! 🤷🏽♀️ Try English Rugby.. ooooya !!! Then we can talk some more .. 😅
Helen Hunt, winner of an Oscar, Emmy's and Golden Globes, and Daphne Zuniga, winner of the 'Most Perfect looking Woman I Ever Saw in a Bar' (Tiny's, Fairfax, Circa 1988) in the same movie. Has to be good!!! Kathleen Wilhoite is in this? Just keeps getting better!!
Love lifted me. He will never cease to have a witness. 🙌🙌🙌 ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 I pray for missions. Thank you God for your protection. Thank you for Mercy. Merci Beaucoup 🍒🍒🍒
In 2020+? Ask Liberals who put Bio Man in Woman Sports. Ask Bio Woman who Support it as well. Ask Liberals which Have Many Woman as well there who Attack Bio Woman for fighting their rights in Sports against Bio Man and anyone who Support this sick idea.
What a flashback this movie is I was 13 in 1983 and remember the story about the girl she was the first one in the country to join a male sport…. Great movie with all the stuff that’s going on now in 2023 with the boys want to be girls the girls want to be boys and cross gender athletes. This is where it all started. It’s worth a watch.
Meeting up was so much more fun back then , not those boring comuters and talking online all the time. Met each other face to face. Pretty girls and cute boys acting goofy and dum😂😂😂😅😅😂by the diners and movies
I wonder how the team and the rest of the community treated her in real life and not how Hollywood said she was treated. Of course it also depends on when or what year this happened. I just read that movie was in 1983 and it was based on the 1981 true story.
Great movie. What's mindboggling is the current times seem to think they're the ones discovering all this now. Like it never happened before. Newsflash: it has.
Prove them wrong.. , who says woman cant play football.., loved how dress they got... $120. THEN SHE WRIPT THE TAG OFF... , beautiful emotional how team players accepted her 👏 🙌.. Grizzley go..!! ....
Would you happen to have the Rocky Dennis story Mask with Cher? I can't find it anywhere. Thank you for having this movie. It was one of my favorites when I was younger
I’ll see what I can do about the Mask. Subscribe, so if I do find it and post it, you will be one of the first to know. Let me know if there are any others I can help with.
@@eagleeyedroneography4159 personally I feel that some of these movies and others should be shown in schools. Maybe then we would have acceptance and understanding instead of bullies, suicide, and school shootings
My mother never had a career, I think she felt bad about that once she saw me go to College and become a doctor. She bragged to her friends, but never told me she was proud of me, I think she resented me for it and had envy.
The dress must have Been expensive, however the saleslady just rip off the tag of the dress and said it cost $125, she saw how sweet these boys are to buy her a dress
Truly love movies like this, back around early 2000. But not anymore after 2010++ until now. Movies like this will spread more Hate towards both Bio Woman & Bio Man. So much Delusional Irrational Slandering and Hate for Biological Man and Biological Woman just to save Alphabet Communities asses.....

I like being around guys until they open up and say something sexual or bigoted without realizing.

The lady at the dress shop was the real MVP 😊
Her Homecoming dress cost more than my wedding dress.
@@rosenabush4394 they said they had ALMOST 125 dollars. Where did they get the rest?
@@gizzyguzzi I got the impression that the shop owner decided to eat whatever she lost on that dress. Just my opinion.
those teammates that took up the collection are the guys that will be friends for life.
Awe, what a sweet movie. 😊 so relevant too. Her dress was way ahead of its time, as was her updo. 😊

Please tell me that you've recovered by now!
That’s awesome! I graduated hs in 1977, but in Ethiopia.
But I’m Swedish, my parents just happened to be living there at that time. I loved it.
Hope you’re all better!
One of my favorite movies from the past. I purchased this movie on VHS many years ago because I loved it so much!

Watched this for the first time. I love how supportive her team mates were. Such a beautiful film! ✨
I lvoe how the guys on the team accepted her right away! It is so sweet of them buying her the homecoming princess dress
YOU gave it away.
Woke usa bull shit
@@denieshepherd8196I would advise you to watch the movie before reading the comments
I recall watching this years agi, I never knew it wss based on a real person.

Oh I love her friend with the dark, curly hair! Forget the temperamental logger guy. Go for him, girl!
Yes! BJ is the real one 🫶🏼
Both guys were ice but i would have gone with curly, he has a great smile as well.
UGH THATS WHAT IM SAYING!! they had much better chemistry w less problems
I remember years ago my parents watching this movie. I only saw the last few minutes but have kind of wanted to watch it ever since.
I had no idea that it was based on a true story.
I watched this story YEARS ago and have searched for it many times! Love Helen Hunt In this movie!!!!

With all the fractures, concussions that occur while playing why would a parent even consider her.
Form a girls soccer team.
Helen Punt 😀.
Never seen or heard of it but I loved it. It was nice to see kids actually supporting something different
what an amazing young woman tami maida was to be so brave and so sure of herself at such a young age what an inspiration this woman is for young people everywhere.
Great Movie --and a positive inspiring true story! Tami Maida is a true modern time hero!
So awsome ...that most of the guys accepted her right away!!!
Great Movie. I saw it years ago. Glad that I got to see it again. Thank you.
I love the enthusiasm and the energy in this movie! 😊❤
What a delightful movie. Absolutely brilliant!
Never saw this one before, to me is was a set of talent and great acting for the point of the story as well for each actor, actress.
I love this movie of Helen Hunt, Tim Robbins, thanks uploader❤
I love how the dad was fit enough to jump the railings, i miss spending so much time outside like we did in the 70's and 80's

It's just a movie and none of that happened in real life.
I love this movie! I have it recorded somewhere. Found it about 20 years ago and have loved it ever since 💜
Loved this movie! Loved the support of those who were willing to allow talent a chance.
LOVE this movie!! Helen Hunt never disappoints
And young tim robbins!!!!
Really enjoyed this - Helen was perfect for this role - real feel good flick
The guy who took her on the date that is the most insane thing I have ever seen in my life.
I miss the simple, feel-good movies of my youth.
Heartstopper is similar.
Was able to watch this on TV back in 1989 in the Philippines hehe
It's a beautiful movie to watch. Thank you.
I've been looking for this movie forever. Thank you for posting

Baseball is for guys and football for guys. Because no girls would be playing pro football and pro Baseball.
What a wonderful, beautiful and great movie. I really enjoyed watching it, so inspiring and motivational. We need more movies like this one.😊❤

american football is kind of like canadian football, except that there are four downs instead of three. so it relies more on short running plays.

Tami proved everyone wrong and she was a great female football player.. ❤🎉😊
Great movie thank you for sharing
How hard women have fought to be included in sports and recognized for it.
