SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

pattykelly-59527 This movie in my opinion has a hidden agenda. Look for it. It is to view abortion as if is just fine and totally acceptable. It however does not show you what happened to our young couple after the abortion, so not a whole picture.I am sorry I wasted my time watching this movie, do not waste your time. Also will probably not waste time watching Hallmark movies.

mihai_chindris If you just want to relax and take a break from worries, than this is the "perfect" choice for you. It is so peaceful (well, up to a point, where things get spicy), but, nevertheless, something makes you disconnect from the real world and urges you to jump through the screen and feel the story & not just stare at it. With glimpses of heavenly scenes, you'll shift your focus aside from everyday tasks. It could have had music mixed with the more interesting parts, I can say, but it is good, after all. Watch and share it with friends, and most importantly, enjoy it!

wes-connors Carpenter and single dad Brady Smith (as Martin Parish) is happy when daughter Sadie Calvano (as Natalie Parish) wins an election for student council treasurer. This could help the cute and increasingly popular Ms. Calvano win a college scholarship. Being a straight "A" student will help, too. Calvano also wins the attention of her high school's star ice hockey jock Reiley McClendon (as Samuel "Sam" Cahill). Very quickly, father and daughter have to face issues like teenage drinking and sex. "The Perfect Daughter" may not be so perfect, after all...This drama focuses more on how father Smith deals with his daughter's problems. There is some background involving the missing mother, who wasn't perfect, either. She had a boyfriend and was willing to leave her family and shack up at a "Pink Motel" somewhere. The missing mother's perfectly trimmed, model-like brother Johann Urb (as Nicky Barnes) works for Smith. The younger man is introduced after having a sexual liaison with a married blonde. So, there is a hint the Barnes "side of the family" is slutty. In contrast, father Smith appears chaste...Also in the cast is former 1970s TV "Hardy Boy" Parker Stevenson. He is both Smith's boss and the hockey player's father. Director Brian Herzlinger and writer Brian McAuley do their best in scenes with Smith and Calvano, showing both their increasing distance and strong bond. The father-daughter relationship seems real. Scenes in the school setting are more routine. At one point, an accusation of rape is made; to accuse falsely, if that is the case, should be treated more seriously. And, the ending refuses to explicitly state a decision made by Calvano...Finally, it must be declared that the "neatly trimmed beard" look is now in vogue for TV movie men. You see it on leading man Brady Smith along with supporting actors Parker Stevenson and Johann Urb. You also see the "neatly trimmed beard" on men in commercials. Understandably, this does not apply to high schoolers; shaving is necessary to play the younger age. This is great news because the "perfectly plucked eyebrows" look is (and was) very distracting. They may still pluck the eyebrows, but the "neatly trimmed beard" helps off-set the eye brows.***** The Perfect Daughter (3/26/2016) Brian Herzlinger ~ Brady Smith, Sadie Calvano, Reiley McClendon, Parker Stevenson

edwagreen A totally benign story and I expected that with a typical Life-Time film, there would be a series of murders with victims such as the girl who lost the high school treasurer election to our heroine.Instead, the story concentrated on the relationship between the widowed father and his daughter. There seems to be quite a lot of symbiosis here. The guy's friend is his lawyer whose son gets his daughter in trouble during a drunken spree. The lawyer had gotten the father a job to construct something for someone. In addition, the lawyer's wife was once the girlfriend of the father before he married what turned out to be a wayward woman who was about to abandon him and her daughter when bone cancer intervened.There is too much of everyone literally feeding off one another. Even the widower's worker is his former brother-in-law, a simpleton with an eye for the ladies.By the end, the whole thing boils down to whether or not the girl shall take the pill to terminate her pregnancy. Does she or doesn't she?
