AMATEUR FILM REVIEW OF
TYLER PERRY’S ‘DADDY’S LITLE GIRLS’ Ever want to take your kids to see a film and not worry about the violence and gore that it may have? Whether you are a mother or a really awesome aunt (like me) you want to be able to take a child to a film that has a good message and will keep your attention also.

Daddy’s Little Girls (2007), filmed in Georgia, a romantic-comedy is a beautiful and impressive film about the life of a mechanic Monty (Idris Elba), who has to enlist the help of lawyer Julia (Gabrielle Union) to regain custody of his three daughters. With all of Perry’s films there is a certain overwhelming feeling of the odds that anyone can overcome life’s challenges with a little religion and a whole lot of love. Daddy’s Little Girls was written and directed by Tyler Perry; he was in charge of all creative aspects of the film.

When writing this film Perry may have already known exactly how the story will be told and what the audience will feel for the actors and how
