Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with this 2021 drama thriller titled "Daddy's Perfect Little Girl" prior to stumbling upon it by random chance here in 2024. And with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to sit down and watch it.
Writer Melissa Cassera put together a very generic and predictable script and storyline for the movie. Now, I know that this is a TV movie and all, but come on. The script was so predictable that you see things coming a mile away. And it was so generic that writer Melissa Cassera was simply just cramming in as many tropes as possible.
Something that worked well in favor of the movie was the acting performances. Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. The actors and actresses put on good performances. And while I absolutely loathed the Ella character, I have to say that actress Hattie Kragten put on quite a performance in bringing this obnoxious character to life on the screen.
I am sure that there is an audience out there who will gobble something like this movie up and enjoy it. I, however, was not really in that particular target audience. The movie just simply was too generic for my liking.
My rating of director Curtis Crawford's 2021 movie "Daddy's Perfect Little Girl" lands on a three out of ten stars.
