Summary: The Best of the Best
Review: I love the temptations Movie for me to sit down, with my family and just watch it one day. I fell in love with the movie. I am only 21 years old and at first I knew nothing about the temptaions and now I am in love with a group that was before my time, I watch the movie several times a day when I am at home, and I have the time to watch it. I even have my 2years old hooked on the movie he can hardly talk in a completed sentence but he can surely sing and dance the Temptations. It is a lovely movie and I would advice anyone to sit down and watch it over and over again!!!!!!

Summary: An Amazing Movie
Review: Let me begin my saying that I'm not a movie guy. I only watch a handful of movies a year because I find most of them to recycle the same plots. Also, before this movie, I was not a Temptations fan- I was barely aware of them. Bored one day, I started watching VH1 and began to watch the movie...and was hooked. It's a gripping, emotional movie that captures the idealism of youth and the trials of fame. The character development is incredible and the acting is superb to the point where you think you're actually watching the Temptations themselves. The film-making is crisp: you'll see Paul favoring milk over alcohol on a tour bus with the whole Motown crew; it's a passing scene that lasts a second or two and it represents the innocence of the band members which didn't last long. There were numerous short scenes like this which spoke volumes about the character of the Temtations and how they changed. I just can't say enough about this movie and recommend it to all.

Summary: A Remarkable Mini-Series
Review: A remarkable mini-series indeed! This two-and-a-half hour drama intimately depicts the outstanding career of one of the most successful groups of all time. The film documents the group's internal and personal struggles and tragedies, as well as their rise as dynamic and breakthrough entertainers. This must-see film embarks on a journey that captures the true spirit of not only a terrific group, but an entire musical era. The riviting and captaving portrayls of Otis Williams, David Ruffin, Melvin Franklin, Eddie Kendricks, and Paul Williams as the five original members of the group are fantastic. This is the film for anyone.

Summary: The Lovely Paul Williams (Christian Payton)
Review: I love the movie. I can not stop putting the VHS inside od the VCR. I love it when Paul Williams dance. He is so fine. He was the one who had a problem with the alcohol. I wish the he could have been the one that survived the stressful situations. He was so sad to me that he had to die. I give Mr. Christian Payton thumbs up on his proformance. I love the movie and most of all I love also Mr. Payton. Mr. Payton I want you to e-mail me a picture of you. If there is a sound track for the movie, someone please send it to me.

Summary: Superb
Review: A fantastically well-written T.V mini seires that explores the troubled lives of each of The Temptations and their rise and fall on the music scene. The Temptations were one of Motowns hottest and most versatile acts with their carefully planned chorography on stage and their diverse ranmge of shimmering harmonies on record. An interesting aspect of the series early sequences are when they are first introduced to Motown Records and its fun to see portrayals of the great Motown legends such as Diana Ross, Martha Reeves, Marvin Gaye and Smokey Robinson. Interestingly enough Diana Ross' daughter, Rhonda Ross makes an apperance in the film playing the troubled Paul Williams wife. The sequences where the group are seen performing Papa Was A Rolling Stone and Paul Williams is about to shoot himself are moving and the funeral is sure to get a lump in your throat (where Smokey Robinson himself appears). The film also carefully chronicles David Ruffins fall from grace as he steadily declined into cocaine addiction andalso continually mentally and physically tortued his wife, Tammi Terrell. The ending sees the grop reunirted when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.
The performances are excellent, the 60's ambience such as the nightclubs and drug culture are superbly evoked and the stage performances are mastered to perfection. Recommended.

Summary: BROUGHT BACK SO MANY MEMORIES...................
Review: When I first watched this movie on GPTV, I knew I had to have it. I cried, laughed, and embraced the memories of this spectacular group. I'm 49 years old, and grew up with their music....from their 1st appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show till the end of this remarkable era of the BEST Group ever!! My favorite Temptation was David Ruffin, and the actor LEON portrays him remarkably. I wish I could find the UNCUT version of this movie, because it is A MUST for anyone's video collection. This movie is a GREAT portrayal of The Tempting Temptations...."Temptations Forever", and that's the truth.

Summary: WOW!!!
Review: What a Fantastic portrayal! This film is so deeply Heart-Felt, why must the great ones always die before their time? The story is laid out beautifully. The acting was excellent. The audio is Crystal Clear and the results are Simply FANtastic! It is wonderful to see the Temps as they grow and their careers florish but It hurts to watch as they each confront their destiny. It must be lonely for Otis Williams now and will the Temptations truly be Forever? Make sure to buy the DVD version versus the VHS and if you don't have a DVD player, this film is the reason you should!

Summary: The Tempting Temptations! WOW!
Review: This video is absolutely riveting. These guys as actors really make you feel like they were the original Temptations. My family and I really love it. We even went to the Motown Museum (Hitsville) in Detroit to see where they hung out and practiced. Anyone one who lived and loved the Temptations should get it. We first saw it when it broadcasted on Television. We couldn't wait to purchase it for our video collection. Even our children like it!

Summary: AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!
Review: A friend of mine kept telling me to watch this movie. I remember when it came on TV I was totally uninterested, like "who cares about the Temptations?" She finally let me borrow her tape. I watched this movie and was HOOKED!!! I LOVE this movie!! I bought the DVD which has scenes that aren't in the VHS version, and I watch this DVD at least 4 times a month. Christian Payton who plays Paul Williams and Terron Brooks who plays Eddie Kendricks are INCREDIBLE actors!! (and easy on the eyes) I wish they were in more movies that displayed their many talents... Overall, 5 stars baby!! GET THIS MOVIE!!!
