What You Need To Know:
DADDY’S LITTLE GIRLS has a strong Christian worldview with strong moral elements. In one inspiring scene, Monty is spiritually inspired by a sermon from his Baptist pastor. The storyline with the mother and her evil boyfriend is a bit melodramatic. Also, the movie’s positive worldview is mitigated by an antinomian attitude toward sex and alcohol. Monty is clearly upset when a tipsy Julia gets too sick to make out with him in her bedroom. Finally, the movie contains some foul language. Some judicious editing and better, well-rounded characters would improve Mr. Perry’s work here.
