Movie Reviews of Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls (Widescreen Edition)Movie Review: "Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." -- James 4:7 Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, I am a die-hard Tyler Perry fan & I will go see any of his first-run movies, any time, any where, no questions asked, no price too high, no premise too low -- just send the e-mail & I'll be there. I'll even buy extra tickets just to boost the numbers, so that should tell you something right there ;)
That said, I'm always disappointed in some of the elements in his movies (just a teensy FEW & never EVER enough to spoil my overall enjoyment), but, then again, I always love, love, love how nitty-gritty REAL all his characters are &, let's face it folks:
People (even Christians) really do these things (even wrong & immoral things), whether we like it, or not, & I know that Perry doesn't endorse immorality, he's just keepin' it REAL.
And so it's for that reason I can forgive all the Sex-In-The-City-ness of the movie (which is not a show I've ever seen -- since I don't watch TV -- but I read some other reviews that mentioned the similarities & so that's where I'm getting my information), since, apparently, (because of that show), hopelessly vain, empty & immoral career women are considered the new "normal"?
But because I'm NOT interested so much in how sinful everyone in the movie is (I mean, hello? aren't we ALL? Romans 3:23), but rather about how they FIND REDEMPTION in the end ...
Which is what a Tyler Perry movie is all about.
And so I found the dad's struggles -- as well as the struggles of his extended family & community -- EXTREMELY moving & compelling (to say the least!) & therefore worth watching ...
And ESPECIALLY since you don't see many movies these days with such a strong father-figure ...
And it's about time! \o/
(Although, in one of those strange, magical, mystical & unexplainable moments of synchronicity, I went to see "Bridge To Terabithia" the very next day -- which ALSO features an incredibly strong father-figure [who is not the main character] -- but the unexpected coincidence made me think that perhaps we are entering a new era: The Age of the DAD flick.)
But, back to the movie, the OTHER reason I will go see any Tyler Perry movie (any time, any where, no questions asked, plus extra tickets) is because, in all his movies, there is ALWAYS at least one spiritual "gotcha" that stays with me as I leave the theatre ...
And, in this movie (without giving anything away), one of those "gotchas" was said by the pastor (during his sermon) & the other was said by Aunt Rita (in passing) ...
So, for me, it's the "take away" factor (i.e. something inspirational that I can [& do] apply to my personal life) that makes a Tyler Perry movie worth its weight in gold.
And to the critics who objected to the movie's ending, I say this:
"You gladly put up with fools since you are so wise! In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or pushes himself forward or slaps you in the face. To my shame I admit that we were too weak for that!" -- 2 Corinthians 11:19-21
And, like Paul, I am being facetious, because NO ONE should put up with abuse. Not at home. Not at school. Not at work. Not in church. Not here. Not now. Not ever. Amen.
And for THAT reason, this is a GREAT movie, ending & all \o/
