It's amazing how people views are so different. I have a couple of questions: "Have you ever walked 1 step,(not a mile, a week or even a day) in a black man's shoes? Although he depicts non-violence in a portion of this film...what PARENT would sit around and allow ANYONE regardless of race or color to abuse their child? If you have children, I hope you never have to experience what Monty had to endure.

It's sad we always have to revert to the race card. Hollywood is forever protrayig the African American community in a negative manner, here we have someone who has walked the walked and is showing that we are MORE than what Hollywood depicts us to be...and someone is yet still trying to find negativity in it.

I commend Tyler Perry for his hard work and dedication and regardless of how Hollywood and anybody for that matter tries to bring him down...No Weapon formed against him will prosper. That my dear you can take to bank which is wehre you'll find Mr. Tyler Perry.

I am mortified to think that you wouldn't understand that this movie is relating to its target audience. First, I must say when critiquing anything, please have the facts correct. That was not Monty's mother nor was that his wife or ex-wife. I viewed the movie opening night and it deserves much much more credit than you are giving it. Tyler Perry is a gifted man and understands the plight of the inner cities and black communities. He has depicted these in a very appropriate manner. It saddens me to know that someone on this particular website would be so one-sided (and I use that word because what came to mind would not be appropriate to use here). The movies and characters that are portrayed by such characters as Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie, and Susan Sarandon are merely that characters, they have no substance to them. However, to the contrary, Tyler Perry's characters' core comes from people that need to see more than 'the hood' being portrayed in a negative light.

While not perfect, I am proud of this movie. It shows a black father who loves, works hard, and is willing to sacrifice for his children. It also shows a successful black woman who is unwilling to compromise or dumb down just to have a man in her life. The characters were very obvious and some of them played more the the extreme when it came to stereotyping, but overall, this was a wonderful departure from the the shoot-em-up, drug-dealing, low class living that has been portrayed in many past films.

On a side note, that was the ex-wife's mother who looked after the children. She was not Monty's mother.

Wow, what a one sided article.Funny how this article picked out everything negative - where were the positives? I saw the movie and felt it was a GREAT movie.Yes, there were some things in it that could make one wonder about where our country is headed but to me this was a very realistic picture of some things that people in different neighborhoods experience.This article never observed how Julia beat the odds that many women of color deal with - SUCCESS in corporate America.She was intelligent, smart and yes, slightly snobbish but like said in the movie - it's held against her because she uses correct English.And what about a man who was falsely accused of rape and went to prison BUT He wanted better for his life and his children? His dream of being a business owner, was this not important? Yes, there was humor in the movie but a 40 year old wanna be rapper does not describe what is actually seen in the movie.There is crime in the movie, but tell me where in the US crime is nonexist

I have not had the opportuntiy to veiw the move
"Daddy's little girls" but we have to look it this way ,we should all be given the opportunity to create and maybe it not as perfect as we think it should be and maybe it does not reflect some absolutes but I beleive for those who will few it will understand what Mr.Perry is attempting to display. It is a matter of the heart in showing that even as beleivers we still battle with issues. God Bless
