Description
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.

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

Daddy's Little Girl's
Truly enjoyed the movie. It gave my teenage grandsons a good idea of fatherhood responsibility.
"Daddy's Little Girls" a winner in my book!
I totally DISagree with Blackprincess' review.This was one of Tylers' best!A totally believable performance by Idris Elba as Monty, a devoted black father who loves his 3 little girls,in spite of the fact that black men are stereotyped as deadbeat,absent fathers.And some are,mines was...but there was another strong black man who helped raise me,and that I look at as a father figure to this day.
Tasha Smith was dead on as the "ghetto fabulous"mother who cared more about that no good,drug dealing thug than her own precious babies.To me,she only wanted custody of the girls to get back at Monty.Living in the ghetto's of Washington,DC,I've known women just like that.
The only character I had trouble believing was Monty's love interest played by Gabrielle Union(I hope I spelled her name correctly).I don't think most black women brought up outside of the streetlife,who is wealthy,upity, and very well educated,would give a regular joe like Monty a snowball's chance in hell, and I felt they're romance blossomed too quickly in the film.
Louis Gossette Jr. was magnificent as always as the auto-repair shop owner,and hard working older gentleman who was tired of watching the neighborhood go down from the drugs and violence that plague so many inner-city steets in America today.
In my opinion,this film should be shown to all young black men who think it's okay to have 3 and 4 kids,and not be man enough to take responsibility.There are Lots of Monty's out there,and I appluaud Tyler for showing us the flip side.
I would watch just to see Idris
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
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'
Great story and great actors. Good for Men and women. Certainly not a chick flick.
