"You and me against the world,
Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world,
When all the others turn their backs and walked away,
You can count on me to stay."
The lyrics to the Helen Reddy song say it all about the film "A Daughter's Revenge." Little Elle bonded with her mother Michelle when her philandering father walked out on them. It was then that "It's us versus the world" became the mantra of mother and daughter.
Michelle's second husband, David Spencer, was a decent man, who was faithful to Michelle and a loving stepfather to Elle. But after Michelle incorrectly believed that David was cheating on her, she committed suicide. The result was the film's title of the daughter's revenge that took the diabolical form of Elle setting up Michelle's friend Anna Bellcroft to take the fall for the dad's death.
The film had exceptionally well-developed characters. The house cleaner, Margy Beynes, and her daughter Cammy were essential to the plot. It was unfortunate that Cammy recognized that Elle engaged in shenanigans, and the result was that Cammy made an early exit from the film after getting run over by Elle.
The unsuspecting Anna was given a second lease on life after a DUI charge and a three-month stint in prison. Elle lavished gifts on Anna and the opportunity for a job with David's corporation Orbitscope. Everything seemed too good to be true! It was at Orbitscope that Anna meets Charlie, a computer geek. Anna's old cellmate, "Sugar" Dellarosa, forms the third part of the Three Amigos, who join forces to turn the tables on Elle.
Elle may have believed that with her mother, it was an unstoppable force of "you and me against the world." But she hadn't counted on the Three Amigos for a little competition.
