Description of Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls (Widescreen Edition):
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
Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls (Widescreen Edition) Reviews:
I would watch just to see Idris 
2008-09-10 - I watched this mainly because I wanted to see Idris Elba and also because I wanted to see and support Tyler Perry's movie. I must say watching Idris was the highlight. I'm not sure what happened with Gabrielle, I've seen her do good work but her acting was horrible. The storyline was predicatble and cliche.
If using the boy from the wrong side of the tracks gets with the rich girl storyliine it should have atleast been a few twists thrown in. The little girls were even bad actors. Like the thought but wasn't executed well.
Daddy Little Girls 
2008-09-07 - Not all the time love can be found in your "circle" however once the person has ambition and love you unconditionally then go for it
A Tyler Perry 'MUST SEE'
2008-08-13 - Great story and great actors. Good for Men and women. Certainly not a chick flick.
Good DVD 
2008-07-09 - I think this dvd isnt as good as some of the others but I love Tyler Perry so I bought the DVD anyway. Its a good movie to own but its nothing like Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Family Reunion or Why Did I Get Married?
Great Movie
2008-06-25 - This is just a good movie.There is a right amount of all the ingredients that make tyler perry's movies so good! I definitely recommend it.
