I'd give it a look - The child actors are pretty good!!
This was sort of a re-hash of "The Bad Seed", but using a psychological slant for the kid's behavior.
Look for:
1. Ella talking like a regular kid - when her father isn't around.
2. Ella's friend Kinsley also talking like a regular kid - and her interaction with Cecily when she questions her about Ella.
3. The nasty neighbor that gets what's coming to him.
4. The rather poignant ending scene.
I didn't have any drinks while watching - and I still thought it was pretty good!!

I think the main actress "Ella" is racist!

Horrible
I suffered through this just to see if it would get any better. No chemistry between any of the characters. Basically just about a brat that needed a spanking. Lifetime your movies are horrible. It's more about kids n teenagers now. I'm over your channel. Buh bye.

Terrible Acting!!
This is just another psycho child movie. It is predictable. The little girl just puffs out her lips, looks evil, and throws a hissy fit at every little thing. All I could do was laugh at her performance. Don't waste your time on this one.

A nice change of pace
"Daddy's Perfect Little Girl" is a (mostly) fun watch. It was a little different than the usual Lifetime fare. It told its story well and wrapped up in an unexpected way. The cast does a nice job, especially Hattie Kragten. Warts and all, I enjoyed watching "Daddy's Perfect Little Girl".
Terrible!
This has got to be the worst acting I have ever seen. I know we can't expect a lot with TV movies, but this movie by far was the worst! Terrible acting, no connections between the characters, the movie simply shouldn't have been made.
RIDICULOUS

What I Didn't Understand
I don't understand on why Ella hated this woman's son Zander I don't know why she disliked him that much & the girl is very clingy & the dad doesn't see what she is doing like knocking over stuff & claims it fell over by itself or cutting her finger with a knife the girl is spoiled rotten.

Worst acting I've ever watched
This was absolutely horrible. Not a single person involved did a good job with the acting. The script was pretty typical. You know what's going to happen just about 2 minutes in.

Horrible
Okay this 🔈means there gonna be a spoiler.
Firstly this is hands down the worst movie I've ever seen. The girl is just the most annoying protagonist, they try to make you feel bad for her, I just can't. This movie wouldn't be this bad if it wasn't for the SPINELESS DAD. 🔈He believes his mentally sick🔈 child over half of the main cast. The acting is so-so it's not bad but it's not the best. The dad is just this worst dad in the world, the dad never disciplines his kid. She thinks that she is entitled to everything. If you wondering why I just refer to them as Dad and Girl is because NONE OF THE CHARACTERS ARE MEMORABLE!!! The ending is horrible the 🔈girl just killed 1 of her neighbors 🔈and she's still daddy's perfect little girl! And she can't handle anyone talking to her dad. Any other lifetime movie but is it a good choice. 🔈Both of her ofter parents died which is sad no one should have to go through that, but they just use this as an excuse for all of her bad behavior.🔈 If they wanted to make an annoying protagonist they could have did what they did with the friend. She was an example of how to do an annoying character! Xander is the best character in this whole movie, at least he tried and was MEMORABLE! No hate to any of the actors, they did their best but they had nothing to work with. Have a nice day!
TLDR: This is a movie about an annoying dad and an even more annoying kid. It's a brat that needs a whooping.
P. S sorry if this is all over the place, there's just so much I hate about this garbage fire.

Half a thumbs up
It is one of them movies that once you start playing it you need to see it to the ending.
The acting wasn't great, aside from Ella, Hattie Kragten, her acting was quite good.

Another horrible Lifetime movie
What happened to Lifetime they use to make good movies with good actors. Now the acting is laughable hard to watch. The story line is just boring. Why are most movies now about teens and kids? Don't waste your time on this one.

Pretty Bad
It was probably made for 12 yo's. I watched at first, because I knew from the title and short description it would be about a demented child which are fun to watch for me. It ended up being an amateur level production experience. By amateur I mean it was actors and a production at very basic levels. I stuck with it because I like seeing how hard it is to be good at writing and acting when you see people who aren't very good, but want to be. Who knows you might see someone early in their career, and end up in real movies or popular tv shows. You got to start somewhere. The little girl in this gets mad over and over when she loses her father's undivided attention or doesn't get what she wants. It was probably made for $50,000 the whole thing.

Loved this Movie
I absolutely love lifetime movies they are all good. This was a very funny, dark and good movie. I love how even though it wasn't based on a true story it really could happen. The girl just had demons in her mind that made her into what she was. I recommend this movie, it was awesome. Some people love to come on here and complain about nothing. This was good movie Go Watch it!

Insanely generic...
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.
