A romantic drama about family, community and love against the odds, TYLER PERRY'S DADDY'S LITTLE GIRLS stars Gabrielle Union (RUNNING WITH SCISSORS, BAD BOYS II, DELIVER US FROM EVA) and Idris Elba (HBO's "The Wire," THE GOSPEL, SOMETIMES IN APRIL) in writer/director Tyler Perry's follow-up to his number one box office hits DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN and MADEA'S FAMILY REUNION.
A single father, Monty (Elba) is a garage mechanic who lives in a poor neighborhood and struggles to make ends meet as he raises his three young daughters on his own. But when the courts award custody of his daughters to his corrupt, drug-dealing ex-wife Jennifer (Tasha Smith), Monty desperately tries to win them back, enlisting the help of Julia (Union), a beautiful -- and hard-nosed -- attorney he meets during his short stint as a chauffeur. While Monty and the Ivy-League-educated Julia couldn't be less alike, an unexpected romance blossoms...and it soon begins to feel like true love. But in order for their relationship to survive, the couple must reconcile their two very different worlds -- and overcome the forces that threaten to tear Monty's family apart.
TYLER PERRY'S DADDY'S LITTLE GIRLS is written and directed by Tyler Perry, and also stars Tasha Smith, Gary Sturgis, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Academy Award-winner Lou Gossett, Jr. The supporting cast includes Malinda Williams, Terri J. Vaughn, Cassie Davis, Juanita Jennings, and LaVan Davis. TYLER PERRY'S DADDY'S LITTLE GIRLS is produced by Tyler Perry and Reuben Cannon (DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN, MADEA'S FAMILY REUNION).
With TYLER PERRY'S DADDY'S LITTLE GIRLS, his third feature and second outing as director, Tyler Perry delivers his most ambitious work to date. The film tackles the subject of fatherhood in black America via the story of Monty (Idris Elba), a garage mechanic fighting to regain custody of his three young daughters. A man of limited financial means but unshakeable integrity, Monty takes on his malicious ex-wife and her violent, drug dealer boyfriend in order to secure the best future for the children he loves. Infusing the film with his characteristic blend of high drama, antic comedy, deep spirituality and rousing songs, Perry creates a heartfelt homage to fathers -- and a welcome reminder that paternal commitment is alive and well in African-American communities.
