Daddy's Little GirlAnonymous 03/01/2007 
  I love Tyler Perry's story lines. Daddy's little girsl are a lot different form work he has done in the past, but the movie was great and it delivered a very positive message from the male perspective. Thankfully, there are some great dad's out there! I kind of wish he had waited till Father;s Day to deliver the message. Overall, the movie was Excellent!!

  This made-for-TV sequel to the highly successful original miniseries has a new cast, and the story is not based on the novel of Larry McMurtry. Ex-Texas Ranger Woodrow Call (Jon Voight, replacing Tommy Lee Jones) buries his friend Gus at Lonesome Dove and gathers a group of cowboys to help drive a herd of Mustangs from Texas to his Montana ranch. And the saga begins.
