Movie Description
Written and directed by Tyler Perry, DADDY'S LITTLE GIRLS follows single father and mechanic Monty (Idris Elba) as he struggles to support his three daughters and fight for full custody from their unfit mother. In need of extra funds, Monty takes on a fateful second job as a limo driver for hot-shot lawyer Julia (Gabrielle Union), granting him the legal leverage he needs as she volunteers to help him in court. His ex-wife (Tasha Smith) has shacked up with her dangerous boyfriend (Gary Anthony Sturgis), the neighborhood drug lord, and not only does he supply plenty of crime to the streets but he also instills fear into Monty's daughters' lives While Monty does everything he can to protect his kids, and to save enough money to eventually run his own garage, Julia is desperate to try to find a good man who can measure up to her well-bred, upper-class standards. Despite their financial differences, and drastically contrasting backgrounds, Monty and Julia can't hide their attraction for one another. But will their past heartbreaks keep them strictly as client and counsel?
With fantastic performances and real-life issues, DADDY'S LITTLE GIRLS is a heartfelt, emotional story of the single-parent experience, and of discovering and preserving unconditional love. Idris Elba (THE WIRE) conveys an abundance of warmth and strength as the heroic father and community leader who is just trying to catch a break as well as some much-needed redemption for doing right by his kids. Gabrielle Union (BAD BOYS II, THE HONEYMOONERS) provides ample doses of comic relief as the uptight career-obsessed lawyer plagued with a string of bad dates. The three real-life McClain sisters that star as Monty's daughters: China, Lauren and, Sierra (they have the same names in the movie) are bona fide scene stealers, thanks to their charming precociousness, which manifests itself in their emotional pleas to be rescued.
Industry Reviews
"[Perry] brings on the warmth with a rousing community meeting led by the great Louis Gossett Jr., and a thrilling church service that may make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up."
