Summary: Amazing
Review: This is the best rock star movie i have ever seen. My family and I WE WATCH THIS MOVIE OVER AND OVER. A lot of people think that the Five Heartbeats is better, but that is so untrue. Each scene gets me closer and closer to the screen. I only have one problem with the movie. Otis, is the only original Temp and he portrayed himself to be the best and the leader and originator. He made himself look good. Which is hard to believe that he had no faults. He was seriously involved with Pattie Labelle, something he fails to mention in the movie. Also, he didn't really get into how much he cheated on his wife. He was seriously involved with Flo from the Supremes. Other than that the movie was was my favorite movie ever.

Summary: Review on the Temptations movie
Review: I did not purchase the video; I taped both parts when it aired in 1998. This was a very powerful portrayal of one of the greatest male R & B groups in music history. I had no idea what these guys went through during a period of obscurity. It was one point when we did not here any decent recordings from them. Then out of the woodwork comes'Treat Her Like A Lady'. I may have been 17 at the time, but this song had me on my feet the very first time I heard it. When the DJ said at the end of the song that it was the Temptations, I could not believe it. My aunt went out and got the 45...WOWGetting back to the movie, I was in amazement of the choreography. When they were singing "The Way You Do The Things You Do", my mind flashed back to a footage video of theirs when they may have been on the Ed Sullivan Show. The choereography was so tight that I jumped to my feet and said to my husband "Rewind it". I realized we couldn't because we were watching it on television and I was taping it... But I was amazed. I was not aware that Paul Williams committed suicide, but I do remember the passings of David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, and Melvin Franklin...I had no idea how close Melvin and Otis were...Maybe that's why he has not replaced him...what a friend and brother... Because of some the reviews I've read about the edited VHS version, I'm going to stick to my recorded special...commercials and all....

Summary: Talkin' about my Favorite Movie... la la la
Review: Ok, I must admit I am only 22 yrs. old and I never really got into the "oldies". I was at my boyfriend's when he asked if I would like to watch this movie. I was first hesistant, but OH MY GOODNESS, I didn't want the movie to ever end. Now, I am truly a fan of the Temptations. I loved watching how determination and strength got them what they really wanted. It was a movie that could teach anyone to never give-up. I found it awesome the way the movie had several great actors to play the part. They all went well together. I really liked Eddie (wasn't he just sooo cute and sweet), Otis was great for his wisdom and strength, and Paul was too "cool". This is a movie that you have to see even if you don't like motown music or the other oldies. I never got into that music too much, but this movie just blew me away! I love the Tempations now, and you will too after the movie.

Summary: This video took me back to when I grew up on this music.
Review: Nostalgic. That's how I felt when I watched this video. It brought me back down memory lane, makes you remember the feelings of young naivity and your first love. Makes you want to go back to that time and place. This video brought me back to my childhood, when we watched the Ed Sullivan Show and you saw the Tempatations, The Supremes, The Jackson 5, James Brown, and that's just to mention a few. I'm so glad to have been brought up on this era of music. The Motown movement! This video is excellent. I cried and I laughed. I love the original Temptations, and this is the kind of music that our kids of today are deprived of. These are the songs that will always be with me. Ofcourse, since this movie is based on the true life stories of these wonderful performers, that just makes it all the more interesting, so this movie was a great idea. These guys really loved each other and it also shows you the different personality types they possessed. Each Temptation was fundamental in the creation of this successful group. In this video you hear alot of the popular songs they sang which to me are classic R&B. Music for lovers and music that makes a girl feel special and puts the "L" in Love. Makes you feel BRAND NEW, if you know what I mean. You will not regret purchasing this video! This movie you'll watch over and over again.

Summary: breathe taking
Review: I Thought this was an amazing movie it was so real. It was like you were right there with them and I could relate to all of them. Paul was my favorite. But then I can't really say that because they were all great and act their part damn good.

Summary: Christian Payton...what a man!
Review: Overall I thought this was a very good, and well acted movie. Though I would've liked to known more about what went on as far as their personal lives. A real tear jerker for the most part, I found this movie to be very dramatic, and eye catching from start to finish...now to man who made the movie! Christian Payton(Paul Williams) in my opinion is the most talented brother in the entertainment business. Not only is he the finest thing walking, but he can dance his... off. I haven't seen a lot of him on the silver screen, but with performances like that, he will be soon sought after by the big names in Hollywood.

Summary: Honorary Temptation
Review: This DVD is a great buy simply because The Temptations are the greatest group of all time. The movie is so mesmerizing that I can't help but to watch it everyday --dancing and singing with the tempting Temptations. I am only 23 years old and just wish I could have been around when the Temptations were around. I have been researching them and have acquired a vast knowledge of their story. My 3 year old daughter can even quote from the movie and sing the songs since those are the only CDs I listen to. I love the Temps and plan to travel to Detroit to research them further. TEMPTATIONS FOREVER!!

Summary: No other group is greater than The Temptations
Review: The Temptations is the greatest group that ever walked on the face of this planet. I just love them so much. I really loved Paul because he had a very strong voice. Christian Payton did a very good job on playing that role. I also loved Melvin Franklin a.k.a. David English. I enjoyed every song they ever created and even the ones they did over. I am only 16 yeras old who listen to nothing but oldies. I tell my mom everyday I wish lived to see The Temptations perform. I would been at every concert that was held in Philadelphia because I live right outside of Philly.I just love Paul Williams. I love his voice and I love the fact that he wouldn't let his health problems get to him. He loved to dance and he loved to performed. I don't think he killed himself because I was reading this article and it stated that he had his beer in his right hand and his gun in his left hand and the bullet came through the right side of his head. But anyway I'm gonna be a TEMPTATION FOR LIFE!
