This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

not as good as all the hype

Fantastic!

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

I heard about this film not long after the 1992 psychotic child killer Mikey! Which this film had a couple of similarities to. After viewing a trailer this film looked good, I wasn't expecting anything but the trailer (as they do) looked good & I though the film was going to be equally as great. The film wasn't as good, but it was OK & wasn't that bad. The main problem with the film is the body count, only 4 people got killed off in the space of an hour & a half! That would be murder for the Friday 13th films or the Scream films especially! The deaths themselves were OK, nothing I haven't seen before, hospital suffocation, bludgeoning, stabbing etc. But they were decent enough to cause a dark, unsettling & disturbing vibe like Mikey did! The film had some unpredictable moments in it like when she think she killed her Gran or near the end where she thought her foster mum was dead.The story for the film is about a 10 year old red head named Jodie. A girl whose been passed on from foster family to foster family. She grows attached to her father in the film & gets so attached, that she can't even bare to think of them both being separated & stops at nothing to make sure no one comes get between them & kills anyone who dares to part them both!Although the film did lack blood quite a lot in the film it wasn't all that bad, the kills weren't bloody enough for my standards! I like my films to be Gory, but this film wasn't bad for deaths at all!The ending of the film was quite surprising & very good! I like how Jodie screwed up & the father finds out what Jodie actually is like & disowns her while she sobs! Although I would've wanted to see her get taken away & locked up the ending pretty much seemed to tie up & wasn't like those clichéd endings where the killer gets away with it! This ending was satisfying & didn't disappoint!I overall found the film to be OK, not great, but OK. The film lacked the body count which was 4, not so good & too spaced out for my tastes as I like my films fast paced & meaty! 6/10

This film has a lot of potential, however fails to impress due to the poorly written script. Scenes are very drawn out, and so there is an extremely minute degree of suspense in the whole movie. It is obvious what Jodi is going to do to each victim by the middle of the film. The mystery of the child's past is not drawn upon to develop a stronger background to the character of Jodi. Unfortunately, this doesn't give the child actor much to work with, and thus, the protagonists' performance is extremely wooden. The supporting actors have so little to work with with regards to material, that the whole thing falls apart because of the lack of backbone in direction.To the actors' credits, for an obscenely banal script, their performances were good.

Everything about this movie - from the script and dialogue to the performances - is hilariously unsubtle. The girl's "evil" performance doesn't ring true for a minute (she squints her eyes and makes faces to show she's angry, and she makes Freddy Krueger-ish wisecracks right after her killings - "Divorce this!", "You're dead meat", "Goodnight grandma", that sort of thing). If almost every character in the movie wasn't a complete moron, there wouldn't have been a movie - they would have realized the plainly obvious and punched the little brat in the face! Nonetheless, as bad as this movie is, it is directed with a certain professionalism that at least keeps it watchable. (**)

So there I was. I'd been trying to get to sleep for nearly two hours, and so I turned on the tv. Grace Under Fire was just ending, and as my clock turned 3, _Daddy's Girl_ came on. I hit sleep/20 minutes on my remote and took off my glasses, expecting to pass out soon. Well, now it's well after 5am, and I'm stillup writing this, so you tell me what that means. Anyhow, _Daddy's Girl_ tells the touching story of young Jody, a girl who has been tossed around foster families for her entire life. Her current family loves her, but she really loves her father. She perceives everyone as a threat to take her away from her father, and, as any girl in the same situation would do, kills them all. Yep, school principal, grandmother, mother, adoption counselor -- she even attempts to kill her meddling cousin. This movie has some of the cheesiest and stilted dialogue I've ever had the pleasure to see. Through all the porno commercials and ads for the psychic friends ("Your husband is cheating on you." "Thanks so much! I'm so glad I called!"... I don't know about you, but if I called the psychic friends and they told me that, I'd be pretty upset and maybe go on a rampage like little Jody!), _Daddy's Girl_ kept me from turning the tv off, and so now I've been up all night, and I'll likely be up for another 20 some hours before I finally go to sleep. Kudos to the cast and crew of this film for making some of the finest garbage I've ever had the pleasure to view on network tv at 3am!
