The Temptations

Rating:
Summary: Please help!
Review: I loved this movie. This was probably the best tv bio I have ever seen. The epic story of the temptations is one that the producers took great effort to create. It's been a long time, and probably will be a longer time, that I've been able to say that this is unquestionably "must see tv". I would recommend this movie to not only fans of Motown, not only music fans, but all people who go through the ups and downs of everyday life remembering they're true friends.

The only problem is I want to find the unedited version cut of this movie to buy and keep forever. Can anyone out there help me? [e-mail]

Summary: LEAD ROLL FOR TERRON BROOKS
Review: After watching this movie over and over again aleast (50) times studing the acting ability of each of the actors....I just know Terron Brooks would make and exellant choice to play the part of Marvin Gaye...another great star that was ahead of his time....Terron has his moves,looks, and I'm sure after studing Gaye's past concerts he can master his sexy style...have Terron ever been approched to play the part of the late, great giant?....Oh, do Terron respone to his e-mails. I really want to know his opinion.

Summary: Great movie, poor release.
Review: I havent purchased this movie on DVD. I own it on VHS. VHS and DVD both have the same running time. The mini-series that aired on NBC was much longer, and there are several key scenes (if you ask me) that were edited out in the video release. The studio who put this out the DVD could've made it a better product. Putting back the deleted scenes would've been a good start. How about 5.1 sound? And if you're a fan like me, how about some background Temps info, and a few live performances.

Summary: Review of Temptations movie
Review: THIS MOVIE IS FABULOUS! i first heard the temptations back in 1962 and have loved their music ever since. The gentlemen portraying the classic temptations truly brought their characters to life. What a wonderful job of choosing the men to play eddie, paul, otis, melvin, david and dennis. I have watched this movie over and over and never tire of watching and listening to the best male vocal group ever! Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the TV version of the movie - i have the shortened version now. Christian Payton, Terron Brooks truly remind me of paul and eddie. I believe Christian Payton's portrayal of Paul was haunting.This movie is a must see. I have not seen any of these young men in anything since the movie - why not? I would be interested in knowing more about them - anyone out there who could help me?

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I live in Detroit, and was amazed at how accurate the Hitsville building was inside & out. The choreography was great. The acting done by Christian Payton, and Terron Brooks was magnificent. It is uncanny how much the 2 of them resembled the real Paul Williams, and Eddie Kendricks. I wish I could give the movie a higher score. After seeing it, it turned me into a Temptation's fan (of the Classic 5 anyway.) Ignore the critics, and enjoy the music.

Summary: The best bio-movie ever!
Review: This movie was even better than "What's Love Got to Do With It" in my opinion! These five gentlemen went through hell and back in this true story and it makes a young listener such as myself appreciate the Temptations more! Finally, I just want to say that if this was shown in the theaters, Leon would have won best actor for his powerful performance as the wayward David Ruffin, but shoulda/coulda/woulda...

Summary: Not a dull moment and wonderful music.
Review: I feel like I know these people. The cast is fantastic. My husband and I want to know more about the Temptations and the cast that did such a superb job of bringing them to life.

Summary: Temptations still a hit!
Review: I was never really a big Temptations fan until I saw the movie. This movie was excellent and is a must see for both movie and music lovers. The thing that amazed me the most was the fact that is enjoyed by both young and old. My twelve year old step son and his younger cousins were dancing and singing old Temptations dusties for weeks. This movie was awesome. If Gene Siskel were still around today I am sure he would definitely give it a thumbs up.
