Years ago I watched the movie "Nadia" on television and fell in love with the little girl who had so much determination to WIN. Although some of the problems she had with drug use were not portrayed, the challenges Nadia faced in her life to become the Number One gymnist from her Communist country, showed her amazing strength and stamina. Her successes did not come easily. This true story is a good example to show young people what it takes to be the best. A great family movie, and I highly recommend it.
This is a wonderful story of the struggles and triumphs of Romanian Super Gymnast, Nadia Comaneci! What an amazingly inspiring movie of the determination it takes to get to the top, then the courage and strength it takes to return to competition once you've fallen down! It centers mostly on the relationship between Nadia and her now famous coach, Bela Karolyi, who also coached the awesome Marylou Retton. My favorite part of the movie is when she at the Olympics in Montreal, and they use the actual footage of Nadia Comaneci, as she competed in these Olympics, doing the routine that earned her the first perfect 10 in Olympic history! A wonderful movie for the whole family!
I love this movie. Watched it a few times already. Haven't seen it for many years, but I know the movie so well that when I seen it again it felt like I had just seen it not long ago. It gives me goose bumps every time I see it.

I used to watch this movie over and over as a kid, and have been looking for it as an adult with no sucssses. Finally found it here, and was very excited. I had no problems at all buying the movie, and the movie came in about 5 days! It was brand new, still in the package, and the actual movie quality was GREAT! It was a great experience for me, although my husband would disagree for himself, since the movie has been on everyday since recieving it!! =)
The plot is well structured, I really liked the actresses who performed Nadia and Teodora characters, the gymnastics choreographies were nice and kind of believable, but the actor who played the role for Bela, was awful, such a weak and clown-like personality hardly reflects Karolyis'r real behavior, it's an eighties movie and you can't expect more than what you get from it.
