Editorial Review:
Monty (Idris Elba) is a mechanic struggling to make ends meet while raising his three young daughters. When the court awards custody of his daughters to his ex-wife, Monty desperately tries to win them back with the help of Julia (Gabrielle Union), a beautiful, Ivy League-educated attorney. Monty and Julia couldn't be less alike, but a flame is ignited...touching off a firestorm of love and conflict.
Description of Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls (Full Screen):
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

Purchase of Daddy's Little Girl
2009-11-02 - The Delivery of this package was in good condition and the quality of the DVD's were very good. Intevideo and Amazon.com is reliable.
Entertaining
2009-10-28 - I have to say that I love Tyler Perry movies and this is a must see. I was skeptical at first because this movie did not have Madea or Grandpa in it, but the actors and actresses were just right for the script. This particular movie is informative and surreal.
Unexpectedly great.
2009-08-24 - I didn't know what to expect. I came downstairs, the TV was on, & even though it was already half an hour into the movie, it grabbed my attention & I just sat there & watched it. A nice movie about a proud, well-bread woman looking for appropriate standards in a man becomes the salvation for a very nice but unfortunate father of three whos just wants his kids to have a happy life with a parent who actually loves them. The lady, whom is a lawyer, helps him down the bumpy road of child custody against his ex, who only wants the kids to spite him, & her drug-dealing boyfriend whom has been terrorizing his entire neighborhood.
