Very best movie i ever watch

Don't listen to the negative reviews

The first must-see film of the year.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Directed by Tyler Perry, Daddy's Little girls is one of my favorite films of all time. Tyler Perry, known for the infamous character "Madea", creates a love story between two people who come from two totally different backgrounds. Idris Elba plays the dad, Monty. Tasha Smith plays Jennifer, the ex-wife. Gabrielle Union plays the lawyer, Julia. Monty is struggling mechanic and single father of three girls from a poor minority neighborhood. Monty is faced with a big problem. His ex-wife, who is a drug dealer, has been awarded custody of his three daughters. Monty seeks help from a beautiful and educated lawyer with an ivy-league background, Julia. Monty and Julia met when Monty briefly took the job as a chauffeur.This movie is a comedy and drama and is generally PG-13. This one-hundred-minute film was released in theaters on February 14, 2007 an available on DVD on June 12, 2007. In my opinion, the cast was very well selected. Gabrielle Union is a very successful African American actress who has been in over thirty-three films. She is my favorite female actress. Idris Elba has been in forty films and twenty-three for Ms. Tasha Smith.I love the stories that are set up within the movie. Monty portrays as a good man who makes only enough to make ends meet. It gets harder though when he has to fight to gain full custody of his daughters before their mother, Jennifer, takes them. Jennifer is the girlfriend of Jo, the biggest drug dealer in the area. Jo has the entire community afraid of him, so, naturally, Monty doesn't want his daughters growing up around this. The subplot enters when Monty hires a lawyer, Julia, whose life is the exact opposite of Monty's. She works in corporate America and is very well off.During the time, Julia is down on her luck with her love life. After spending time with Monty, Julia falls in love with her not so typical type.By the sound of all of that, you'd think that this movie is a bit complicated, but it is not. The movie offers so many different real life messages. The film sheds light on many situations such as rape; inappropriate incarceration; child abuse (both sexual and physical); class-ism; the fact that good people can be stuck living in terrible communities; forgiveness; gang-drug activity; revenge; and more. These are some real life issues that are very much overlooked.I think all African-American mothers and father should see this movie. The message is powerful and there is a lesson to be learned. Even people that don't have children should watch this film. You never know what kind of situations you will encounter when you become a parent because life is not predictable, and you always have to stay strong for the people who are depending on you.

I was disappointed when my family didn't see this in theaters when it first came out in 2007. However, we saw it on DVD, and I loved what I saw. When I look at it today, I realize that it's good, but not as good as the previous Tyler Perry movies. The characters are fascinating, the situations are great, it causes a lot of great conflict and drama, and yet knows when to add humor.I love the stories that are set up here: a mechanic living in a poor neighborhood, Monty, is trying to raise 3 daughters, which is no easy task because he doesn't have much. It gets harder though when he has to fight to gain full custody of his daughters before their mother, Jennifer, takes them. Jennifer is the girlfriend of Jo, the biggest drug dealer in the area. Jo has the entire community afraid of him, so, naturally, Monty doesn't want his daughters growing up around this. Our subplot enters when Monty hires a lawyer, Julia, whose life is the exact opposite of Monty's. She works in corporate America and lives very well. As they begin working together, they actually form a romance and fall in love with each other. There are a couple more plots, like a delve into Monty's past and a situation with the community coming together and standing up to Jo and his thugs.By the sound of all of that, you'd think that this movie is a bit complicated. Actually, it's not as complicated as you may think; that's not what's wrong with the movie. The problem is that it's not very focused. The movie is called "Daddy's Little Girls," it's advertised to be about a father getting his girls. It's supposed to honor the unacknowledged single fathers who take care of their kids. And it does...sort of. For a while, the movie focuses on the romance between Monty and Julia. It's a nice story, it really could've been it's own movie; or if it is going to be a subplot in the movie, let it exist in the background where the subplot is supposed to be. But when the romance becomes more important than the daughters (when the subplot becomes more important than the main plot), the movie loses focus. To be honest, the movie doesn't really need this romance. It could've spent that time focuses more on the struggle of the community or Monty's past. Those subplots work a lot better, I think. Had the movie stayed consistent with its story about the daughters, it would've been better.Now, while the romance is distracting, that's not to say this is a bad movie. It's a very good movie. Like I said, the plots about Monty's past and the community are very great. I actually wish they got more focus. I enjoy the story about the daughters from all angles. This is the first time I've seen a movie honor single fathers. Normally films look at single mothers or couples or the father who doesn't want to be a father at first, but then realizes the joy of having children. I like the drama with Jennifer and Jo. Jennifer is a despicable mother, and we've never seen a drug dealer like Jo in film before. The girls themselves are likable and real. And though this is a dramatic movie, the comedic moments are very funny. One of the things I actually like about Julia's story is her blind date with the infamous 40 P! That scene is hilarious! Craig Robinson is just a ham! Could you imagine if a song like that actually existed? I don't really listen to rap music or like explicit lyrics, but I would listen to that song all day just for a good laugh! Watch the full, deleted scene version of that scene. You'll love it! As I said, this movie is good, but I just think it could have used some more focus. Take a look at it, and judge for yourself. BOOYIKA!

Idris Elba's Monty James is a hardworking, well-liked soul across town, known for his compassion to others and extreme dedication to his three daughters, who he is trying to provide with a better life since their mother (Tasha Smith) walked out. Yet it should come as no surprise that when she jumps back into the quiet family's life, everything takes a turn for the worse. She is now dating a deadbeat gangbanger and demands the custody of her children so they don't have to live with Monty, who is housing a dirty secret of his own.Meanwhile, Monty becomes well-acquainted with Julia Rossmore (Gabrielle Union), a high-maintenance, somewhat demanding lawyer, who is taxied around by him as one of his two Joe-jobs. In order to keep his kids, he must arm himself with the best lawyer possible, and manages to get buddy-buddy with Maya so that he can have her defend him. All while simultaneously maintaining an honest relationship with the woman, and keeping a close eye on his girls, who are sent to live with their mother and her boyfriend after an incident at home.Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls is by far the most accomplished flick I've seen by him, combining sentimentality and parental-commitment for a truly winning blend of a human story. In the three other Perry picture I've seen, he tends to often focus too much on petty conflicts, soap-opera characters, and thinly constructed drama that leaves nothing to be desired. He focuses on stereotypes and archetypes rather than recognizable humans. Here, however, he accomplishes almost everything he has neglected in his past films to make a watchable and thoroughly enjoyable drama.Elba, who gets better and better with each performance, holds much of the weight of the film on his back and deserves much of the credit for its overall success. The film refrains from making him out to be a Godsend that should be treated with royalty, and also doesn't amplify the "tragic hero" ideas it conveys in the latter act. What we get is a character smart and competent enough to believe, but one that's also noticeably flawed and contemptible.There's also a surprising freshness to the way Elba and Union carry out their relationship together in the film. It doesn't erect itself off of tired clichés and romantically uninteresting drivel, but rather illustrates a likable relationship between two people - hugely far off on the socioeconomic line - that do much more than meet-cute. Not to mention, if you were to take the romantic story out of the film, there would still be a wealth of events and situational drama to focus on. How many romantic comedies can you say that about? Daddy's Little Girls isn't urban cinema's finest, with other dramas like Spike Lee's She's Gotta Have It and John Singleton's Baby Boy passing this one right by in terms of quality and story. Yet Perry pulls no punches and doesn't have any idiotic distractions in terms of characters, melodrama, or subplots. He's focused and gridlocked on Monty and his relationship with Julia and his three daughters, which is how the film should be. This is a simple story with emotions that are memorable and content that's surprisingly favorable and well-handled.Starring: Idris Elba and Gabrielle Union. Directed by: Tyler Perry.

Tyler Perry's Medea-less tale of a father trying to raise his daughters but finding trouble from the girls mother who has taken up with a drug dealer.Good little movie with a nice sense of place. Certainly moralistic and a tad simplistic (as all his stories are), but enjoyable none the less. Its a good film but has little that will make it stand out from the rest other than its good film. (I'm left to wonder if Perry's rather busy dance card will hurt his film out put since with a TV show and now several films a year I have to wonder if he will be able to craft films that stand out, or will they be like this good, but forgettable?) Worth watching- though odds are you'll forget you've ever seen it.
