Daddy Issues (DVD)
Dating can be an absolute nightmare for shy people. 9. Do let your friends and family know you are dating. She's made up of more than daddy issues, but if she has yet to acknowledge or work through them, the better parts have a hard time breaking through the surface. Yes, Daddy Issues is fraught with lots of transgressive sexuality, and some audiences are going to have a hard time with the raw and frank fashion with which director Amara Cash deals with that sexuality, she holds very little back.
Although she seems primarily concerned with whether conflicting views of sexuality can be reconciled in a committed relationship, Cash dresses the issues up in so many layers of cuteness that the message practically gets smothered by the candy-colored cinematography and insistent indie-pop soundtrack.
The relationship between Maya and her mother has been fraught since Maya's father disappeared several years earlier, and further strained since Maya came out as gay. Nineteen-year-old Maya gets her first taste of true love when she finds romance with Jasmine, a young fashion designer.
The only other patriarch in this movie happens to be a Southern gentleman-type plush bear named Lotso (Short for Lotso Hugsâ€), who throughout the course of the movie reveals himself to be nothing more than a bitter and cold-hearted villain (another favorite Disney theme for children).
Then Maya discovers Daddyissuesthemovie Jasmine's passionate relationship with a secret sugar daddy, Simon. To work out a romantic relationship and children it is good to get some babysitters to take care of the children. These daddy issues movies always send out the opposite message though: something you do can change how your dad treats you.
While the film is titled Daddy Issues,†the plot ends up being about more than just the exploitation of two women by the same daddyâ€: Jasmine, for example, must learn to understand her mother's struggle with bipolar disorder, while Maya worries about her plans for art school.
