Summary: Hated the way some of the Temptations were portrayed
Review: I loved the movie, but hated the way that Otis portrayed Paul Williams, no where in the movie does he tell that Paul had sickle cell anemia and that is why he wasn't able to stay in the group. Yes he did have a drinking problem, but it wasn't just the alcohol that lead to him being let go from the group.

Summary: a good movie if you aren't concerned with facts
Review: I have watched this movie about a dozen times and loved every minute of it. Then I read the book that Otis Williams wrote, and that the movie is supposedly based on. Almost every scene is changed. From who sang lead on certain early songs to who said what and when. Places, dates, characters names, they changed 90% of it to suit their movie. I don't understand why movie makers do that, nor do I understand how Otis Williams can allow it. It's a great movie if you don't ever read the book and don't care about the truth.

Summary: Tempting Temptations
Review: This was an excellent movie, it gave us a glimps of what goes on inside of each star life. I really enjoyed when they all got back together for the Temptations Review. After watching this movie I begin to seach the web for an "Temptations Review" DVD with all of the singers old and new. Is there anywhere that I can purchase this DVD with all of them on it, singing all of their songs. I really, really, would like to get this DVD

Summary: Temptations - Today, Tomorrow & Always Forever!
Review: The Motown sound lives within the very essence of me. When this movie came out, I had to have it. Watching this movie draws you even closer in knowing each individual Temptation more on a personal basis. The Temptations are "the sound" of Motown. Nobody can even come close to being as good as they are. The Temptations are and always will be #1 in my heart! I have even purchase The Temptations Live In Concert to complete my set. God bless each and every Temptation past & present. And to you Otis, my friend, never let your candle go out. You have brighten so many lives, including mine. God bless you my friend.

Summary: Excellent!!!!
Review: This movie was excellent to say the least! It never grows old. It tells the story of the successful motown group The Temptations. It goes in a timeline of dates from the time they were nobodies to the time of Melvin's death. This movie goes into detail of what happened behind the scenes. The trouble with David, Paul's alchohl abuse, ect. I really would recommend this to anyone!

Summary: A Movie to Love, Whether or Not You Love the Temptations
Review: This movie is the best entertainment on several levels. First and probably least important, there's enough music to enjoy, but it doesn't intrude on the story. If you want to see The Temptations in concert, get the music DVD. This is neither a documentary nor a musical--it dramatizes The Temptations' struggle to succeed, to deal with the pitfalls of fame, and invites us to celebrate their triumphs and strengths with them. It shows the consequences of destructive behavior (good for children) and is suitable for the entire family, yet is not a kids' movie. Excellent acting, directing, photography. Absorbing, tragic, heart-warming, unforgettable. If you didn't love The Temptations before, you will after seeing this.

Summary: An exceptional accomplishment to recording a Motown legend!
Review: Normally, I dislike made-for-TV movies that attempt to recapture the music and performers, simply because they are always done so poorly. But this one escapes that notion I have. I enjoyed this so much, not only because of the music, the storyline went well, re-creation of the 60s was amazing. I especially watched for the "entire" song to be performed and this movie did that superbly. Choreography was great, would have liked more. The actors were superb and the "David Ruffin" character performed with amusement, great skill and charisma. I hadn't known Ruffin was such a challenge to the rest of the group. Part of the success of the Temptations is the "Funk Brothers" - the historic group of great musicians who performed so much of that fabulous 60s Motown music. See that wonderfully entertaining movie "Standing Behind the Shadows of Motown" and, there is a CD out too. Motown!! There will never be another! Motown is an American culture!......MzRizz

Summary: OUTSTANDING
Review: Unbelieveable performances and music! This is a must-see! After seeing the television broadcast, I had to own a copy of this movie. I was also able to meet Leon in person, who was gracious enough to autograph my DVD! His, as well as the other actor's performances, are extraordinary!

Summary: Great Dramatic Film
Review: Most people think I'm crazy liking the Beach Boys and the Temptations. But the music is what it is. The Temptations is my #2 band. They sing like angels. And they can dance. I can do Little Richard, Contours, the Beach Boys ,and more. I wish I'd could dance like them. I can sing,but not Temptation dance.
Anyway this movie captures the great and dramatic lives of the classic Motown band. This is a great movie for everybody,just about. I know my music I was a one time dancer on Bandstand. The Temptations will inspire like no other. This movie has plenty of lessons to be learned.
Enjoy the music!!!!!!!!!!!!
