Tyler Perry’s Daddy’s Little Girls – the tale of two people from completely different worlds brought together by tragic circumstances. This romantic comedy is the story of a father that is separated from his kids and given to their mother. But in this case having the children with their mother is NOT a good idea. You see, the mother is a drug dealer and shacked up with the drug kingpin of the neighborhood. The mother doesn’t even want the children but because of spite she will keep them just so the father does not have them. It is Monty’s job to do everything he can to get his children back and out of a household that is ingrained in crime. As a result, Monty enlists the help of Julia. A high class lawyer that has never lost a case, nor had a truly fulfilling relationship with a true man. The beginning interaction between Monty and Julia are rocky and twisted with a image that all black men from the wrong side of the street are never good hard working individuals. Julia mentality is that these men are lazy and out of touch with reality. That is compounded by the friends that she has.

Monty on the other hand is not really looking for a relationship in the beginning. He is more concerned with one buying the auto shop that he works in and getting custody of his three young children. You will have to see this movie to feel the highs and lows of the emotion expressed from these actors.

Daddy’s little girls take you on a roller coaster from the beginning to the end of the picture. You emotions start with glee as joy that Monty’s children are well taken care of. Next, your emotions go to fear when the drug kingpin is introduced. Then you get the anger when you see the pain the children are put through away from their father. Then you feel the LOVE once Monty and Julia start their courtship. Then you feel the peace once the preaching is done. Finally, you get the explosion at the end, the anger, peace and joy of the outcome. You would be hard pressed to miss this movie. Daddy’s little girl, a must see for all ages.
