One of my pastimes is watching terrible Lifetime movies on Tubi, riffing throughout as they rarely ever disappoint in the cheese factor. Then here comes The Perfect Daughter, a film just from the title I figured would be an angst and cringe filled yarn. Incredibly, this is a very fine movie. Honestly!
Realistic portrayal of teens, no stupid twists, no cookie cutter good/bad guys (ok, the mean High School girls were 100% cliché) just well acted, well written and competently directed family yarn. Brady Smith is excellent in this and Parker Stevenson is on fire here. I still cant believe
I watched this entire thing and I wasn't laughing or slapping my head as usual. If you actually enjoy most Lifetime Movies then this will seem like Citizen Kane to you. J says, check it out. I'm totally serious, honest. My brain still cant process that I didn't hate this lol.
