Summary: Talented Temptations
Review: This is my favorite movie yet! Not only is it an interesting concept, it's based on a true story, which makes it even more refreshing for audiences. The movie presents tribulations and triumphs, and redefines the term, brotherhood. This is truly an inspirational movie that takes place around the 1970s, and captures the hearts of millions as they take us through life,lies,and love!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Emotional tale of the greatest Motown Group Ever...
Review: The Temptations is one of the most emotional movies I have ever seen. It takes you through the ups and downs of the greatest Motown group ever. Seen through the eyes of the only surviving orginal member of the group, Otis Williams, it shows how fame can split friendship and take the lives of the people you love. The cast does a very good job at recreating all the events, sometimes you actually think they are the REAL Temptations. Watching the demise of Paul Williams and David Ruffin will bring tears to your eyes. After viewing the movie, you will think of the Temptations in a whole light. A definate 5 stars!

Summary: A Movie Kissed By Magic
Review: All the stars in the universe is not enough for this movie! It surpasses everything I have ever seen in any high budget Hollywood blockbuster. The acting in this movie is superlative and not just in the starring roles, but in every single role in it. The parts of the mothers of Otis and Melvin was flawless...just how you know a mother would be. The part of Ray, of Barry Gordy, of the first agent they had. It's not just the spoken words, but the movement of the eyes, the hands, everything was just flawless. As for the men playing the Temptations, I don't know words exemplary enough to express how great they were. I've read every review on this site and the one thing that stands out in most all of them is how the reviewers say they have watched this movie over and over again. I, too, am addicted. I have only had it two weeks and I have easily watched it 200 times. I go to sleep every night with it playing. I start it as soon as I wake up. This movie should have won every award there is to give for movies as each of the major actors should have won joint awards for the very best acting. There is only one thing wrong with it.......there isn't enough!!! I want to know more about Eddie very little was shown of him except with other Temps. I want to know about Melvin was he as gentle and steady as he is portrayed? I loved the speaking voice of the actor who played Melvin..so smooth like a feather on velvet. Somebody please please get every single one of the people who starred in this movie back and give us more more more more more!!!!!!I have loved their music since 1964 when I had just entered high school. I have it all. Now I love them as people too. More More More More More......please.

Summary: Riveting!
Review: The story behind the music was both heartfelt and moving. Watching friendship survive the various internal and external strifes more than did its duty to rivet me to my chair. Each of the actors, large and small, did a phenomenal job and you won't regret spending time watching the tale of this legendary musical group.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: temptagious
Review: I loved this movie. The acting was great the songs was great, There's nothing that I can find fault with in this movie except I would like the uncut version. I watched the one on VH1 and realized a lot was cut, example,the part at the picnic though breif gave important details about the relationship between Ruffin and Terrell that probable lead to her early death.

If anyone has the uncut copy please let me know. And why wasn't the dvd uncut, isn't that one of the benefits of buying dvd

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Luv'd by kids
Review: This movie brought back memories of my teen years and the joy I had as a youth. But really what brought home the timelessness of this Motown era is my childrens' reaction to the movie. They formed their groups and they sang "My Girl", "Ain't to Proud to Beg". They had to have more--any books, videos, or cd's that helped them hear and learn more about The Temptations. We shared many hours or singing their songs while driving somewhere.
When I listen to these oldies,especially, they do not make fun of "my" music; It's another thing we can share. We first saw it on TV. I bought the video. We saw it on cable. The only thing that frustrates my is that there are scenes on the cable version that are not on the video version. Ricky Fante is listed in the credits as "Marvin Gaye" but I have not found any scene with him in it. So, that makes me think there was more filmed but it was cut in the TV and video. I would have liked to see the uncut version. We still love the film and look at it from time to time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Documentary Ever!!
Review: I was blown away by the actors who portrayed those talented brothas. The temptations were the best group ever regardless of the drama they went thru. Leon made David Ruffin come to life. Every song just made you sing along. Each actor big or small really put their all into their characters. I could watch this movie over and over until the tape pop or the vcr burn out. I loved the five heart beats but that movie is saying "I can't get next to you" when it comes to The Temptations movie. ONE LOVE

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: You wanna know what a musical bio is like? This is it!
Review: I cannot add but one comment to the already glowing praise for this miniseries: LEON DESERVED AN EMMY for his mesmerizing, uncannily believable performance as one-time group lead David Ruffin.
