Daddy’s Girls 2 – Skow for Girlfriends – Director – B. Skow – Cast – Riley Reid, Maddy O’ Reilly, Capri Cavanni, Odile, Kassondra Raine, Alec Knight, Seth Gamble, Anthony Rosano, Ryan McLane.

To begin with Skow has brought back most of the main characters from the first Daddy’s Girl so that the story continues and is not just another, totally different, addition. In this follow up we have Quncy (Riley Reid), who had been savagely attacked by the blind Samantha ( Maddy O’ Reilly), returning home from a long stay at a mental health place. All Quincy wants to do is get on with her life in a normal way and show her father and everyone that she is a changed person. She no longer wants to have sex with older men, and in particular, her father (Alec Knight). Unfortunately what Quincy comes back to is something totally different. Her mother is gone and her father is about to marry Marla (Capri Cavanni), an ex hooker who Quincy has absolutely no use for at all. But does all end well that begins well? That is the crux of the film here with some unexpected twists and turns that keep your interest level very high.

It opens with some very dramatic, tense shots of the attack on Quincy by Samantha from the first film then morphs into Bob dominating Samantha sexually to teach her a lesson. This is a very long, taut, rough and dramatic opening sex scene. It ends with the wife seeing what just took place. Then it is six months later and we see Quincy talking with her pyschiatrist Tom (Anthony Rosano) as he wants to get to the bottom of her problems and needs her to explain in detail what happened.

It becomes very detailed via flashback as Quincy tells the doctor everything about what happened and led up to the attack. She tries to tell him that she no longer wants to sleep with older men or with Bob. It is a very dramatic exchange between the two of them. Bob comes to pick up Quincy to take her home and the meeting and ride home is distant between them. Then we see Marla sizing up the young gardener Alan (Seth Gamble). As they chat Bob and Quincy arrive home and it turns out Seth knows Quincy as they went to high school together. It won’t be long before they begin to date, but it is only the beginning of a new hell that Quincy will go through.

Quincy has to put up with Marla and her father and the fact that they are getting married. After being invited for dinner Quincy and Al begin to date. She continues her sessions with her psychiatrist undergoing what is called “aversion therapy” where she recounts all of her sexual experiences to him. Also entering the picture is her father’s boss, Mr. Jeffries (Ryan McLane) who is, as it turns out, much more than just Bob’s boss.

There is a lot more that takes place in this film as Quincy tries her best to go back to leading a normal life like most young girls, but the constant roadblocks make for some very dramatic moments in this film. It can get complex, but how everything unfolds and who these characters really are is what makes this film hold together and keep you interested and anxious to see what happens next, not only from a sexual standpoint, but from the story line and plot of the film and the big twist it has at the very end.

The cinematography, lighting and settings are exceptional and all blend together to give off a very lush feeling. Skow’s direction flows beautifully from one scene to the next allowing the characters to develop naturally. The sexual scenes, for the most part, are very intense, had, fierce, rough and full of drive and desire and performed very well. The writing from David Stanley has a very mainstream, realistic feel in the dialogue that is delivered very well by a solid cast of performers who possess good acting chops throughout. If I have one complaint it would be the audio, which at times was not clear but muffled. If you are looking for something dramatic, with a subject matter that is well hidden in real life and will keep your interest then I very highly recommend “Daddy’s Girls 2”.
