Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls (Full Screen) description
African-American gospel auteur Tyler Perry leaves behind his over-the-top Madea persona (the driving force of his previous movies Diary of Mad Black Woman and Madea's Family Reunion) to craft a more subdued--yet more emotionally compelling--story. Monty (Idris Elba, The Wire) has been the sole support of his three daughters, but when his ex returns to try to claim them, he can't afford the legal counsel to fight her--until he crosses paths with Julia (Gabrielle Union, Bring It On, Deliver Us from Eva), a lawyer whose successful career hasn't helped her be successful in love. The story of Daddy's Little Girls doesn't hold a lot of surprises; the romance between these two will be bumpy while implausible but necessary-to-the-plot factors keep them from resolving their conflicts until the last moment. But what is surprising--after the grandstanding histrionics of the Madea movies--is how Perry has guided his topnotch actors to rock-solid performances that quietly draw you in. Though the plot twists smack of melodrama, the actors make each scene seem real. The strong supporting cast includes Louis Gosset Jr. (An Officer and a Gentleman) and Tasha Smith, who gives an unflinching and unsettling performance as Monty's ex, who decides to teach her daughters the harshest lessons life has to offer. --Bret Fetzer |

Monty is doing all he can to raise his three, little girls. His only help is his ex's mother, whose terminally ill; before she dies, she tells Monty he should take the girls instead of their mother, a hustler living with the neighborhood, drug dealer. Backed by her boyfriend's drug money, the girl's mom is able to win custody.
Enter Julia: a successful attorney with plenty of attitude. She meets Monty during his short stint as her driver. First impressions are taken, and their relationship starts off rough, but soon enough they fall for one another. Now, Julia has the power and the will to get Monty's daughters back.
The acting was a little shaky, the only aspect of the movie I wasn't too keen on. Gabrielle Union was the biggest weak link in this movie; her acting was too theatrical for Hollywood and came off cheesy. Idris Elba was excellent as Monty, the most convincing role in the whole movie. But the three girls - Sierra, China, and Lauryn McClain - were cute and fit their children roles.
I will admit it was refreshing to see a movie with a single father who's the hero. Overall, it's a wonderful, family movie that touches on subjects of drugs, drinking, violence, community, family and the courage to create change. |
