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... Full review

Wonderfully done movie, Edris and Gabrelle really sizzled as Monty and Julie. I have watched it about 10 times. It was good to see a black man taking care of his kids. I really enjoyed the church scene for Monty seems... Full review

This movie is in between. Neither good nor bad. I honestly feel that Tyler Perry's previous movies were much better, I felt more affection towards the characters. I even cried during the endings and everything. In this movie I didn't like... Full review

Moving briefly away from his Madea films, Perry wrote and directed "Daddy's Little Girls", a movie that could be best described as an urban fairy tale that relentlessly tries to cram just about every known movie clich into its 100-minute runtime.
Monty (Idris Elba), the story's hero, is a loving father of three young and adorable girls, China (China Anne McClain), Lauryn (Lauryn Alisa McClain) and Sierra (Sierra Aylina McClain).

And the rest of the principal cast deserves kudos for giving their all in executing Perry's timely script with a very positive message.....Idris Elba is just as endearing as that too good to be true patriarch willing to do whatever it takes to protect his offspring..... ... Full Review

If you're in need of a little inspiration, this movie will deliver.
The movie surrounds a single dad, Monty (Idris Elba), who loves his kids.
Lucky for Monty, his client that fateful night was high-powered attorney, Julia (Gabrielle Union).

While his latest, "Daddy's Little Girls," looks much better than its predecessors, it's a far more dispiriting experience.
Subtlety has never been Perry's strength, but his previous films balanced the sermonizing with good humor and sincerity.

Tyler Perry's latest film, Daddy's Little Girls , makes all kinds of moves to please the religious folks in the audience.
Christa Banister ( Crosswalk ) says, "While Daddy's Little Girls could've been an intriguing and uplifting story, any potential was lost in hackneyed writing and heavy-handed, but inconsistent moralizing.
