Don't Screw My Daughter

About This Movie

Don't Screw My Daughter (2018) explores some pretty intense themes around parental control and the fears that come with letting go of children as they step into adulthood. The tone is a mix of dark humor and awkward tension, as these dads take extreme measures to ensure their daughters' first experiences are with 'suitable' partners—whatever that means in their eyes. The pacing is a bit uneven, with moments that drag and some that feel rushed, but that lends to a certain charm. The performances range from absurd to surprisingly heartfelt, making the whole viewing experience oddly compelling. The practical effects and setups have a DIY feel, reminiscent of early 2000s indie flicks, adding to its distinctive flavor.

This film has seen limited distribution, making it somewhat rare among collectors. It’s one of those titles that pops up occasionally in small indie film festivals or niche collections, but often you won’t find it in mainstream outlets. Collectors tend to appreciate it for its quirky premise and the conversations it sparks around parenthood and adolescence, which keeps its interest alive despite the absence of a widely-known release format.
