Summary: Was It Just My Imagination?
Review: Was it just my imagination or was this the most amazing movie i have ever seen? I'm only 15 and since i have older parents i had heard 'My Girl' and 'Just My Imagination' tons of times in the car. I have always been a fan of 60's music but i never realize the amazing talent, which brought the Temptations together and put them above the rest. I had never even heard of this movie until my music teacher brought it up and said we would be watching it in class. I thought i would just sleep through the movie but i couldn't help but keep my eyes fixed on the screen. Terron Brooks who played Eddie Kendricks absolutely inspired me. I am now a Temptations fan for life and truly appreciate their music.

Summary: WOW!!!!!!!!!
Review: Like I said WOW! This video is and always will be enjoyed by my whole family. So much so that my 10 and 11 year olds had to have their own copy as well as a Temps CD. What more can I say....apart from having excellent performers, excellent dancing and of course amazing vocals.

Summary: My First VHS Review
Review: I had the privilege of watching the Temptations Video through a friend who thought I was their ages! Although they were a very popular group during my high school years, I did not know much about them, except that their music was excellent. I cannot attest to the truth or untruth of the video, but I can say that in my opinion it was very good! I was impressed with the actors. They are not only very talented but also very handsome men. I especially enjoyed the role of Terron Brooks as Eddie Kendricks, his combination of talent and good looks should take him far in his chosen career. I would be interested in viewing more works of these talented men. They did a wonderful job in the video "The Temptations"

Summary: 10 Stars
Review: This movie is truly one of the best I have ever seen. I too watched the TV version and it was outstanding. The actors that portrayed the Temps did a WONDERFUL job! I have never seen such an outstanding cast. I am extremely disappointed that the DVD and VHS versions do not mirror the TV version because every scene was so good...I couldn't imagine cutting anything out. I did not know the story behind the Temptations but I am real happy I got an opportunity to see the original tv version. If anyone knows how to get a hold of the original tv version, please let us know.

Summary: The most dramatic story of a great band
Review: This movie will make anyone cry. It is filled with drama between the band members that was finally released for fanatics such as myself to see. This movie reminded me of the struggle that great stars go through to produce a good album for fans to enjoy. I enjoyed every minute of it. In fact, over this past summer I watched this movie at leas 1.5 times per day. Over a peiod of 90 days that would be 135 times. I was touched by this movie and it inspired me to start my own band. Unfortunately, my education comes first, but I am still thinking about a band.

Summary: A good movie.
Review: I was reluctant to see this movie, after having seen movies like "The Jacksons," "Why Do Fools Fall in Love," that Little Richard movie, and the "Five Heartbeats," which is STILL my favorite. I just didn't want to see Leon in yet another music movie role. I kind of saw bits and pieces of this movie on Christmas day because all of my relatives wanted to watch it. Our DVD seems to be uncut; the missing scenes were there. This movie wasn't all that great...but it was GOOD. But I must hand it to Leon; he was good as David Ruffin. AND he was hillarious--that scene when he comes to the concert and grabs the mike and starts singing AFTER having been fired from the group is CLASSIC! Good for a cold winters night, but "The Five Heartbeats" it ain't.

Summary: Classic Temptations
Review: I am 48 years old. I have been a fan of the Temptation's for many years. My favorite Temptation was Melvin Franklin. I have never heard a voice like that. It gave me me goose bumps. After I watched the mini series. I found a whole new appreciation for Paul Williams. He seemed to be a tortured soul. It was very sad that he was so depressed that he took his own life. I really enjoyed the movie. I bought the tape 3 different times. Altough I haven't watched the movie in quite some time, when I first got it I watched it repeatedly and even got others to watch it. Evey time that I watched it felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster. Although I didn't get all of the information and I am not sure how much of it was real (Melvin's death scene for one) However, when Smokey Robinson sang Really Gonna miss you, I cried like a baby. I haven't listened to it in a while. I have to be in an certain emotional mood in order to listen to it, because it is so emotionally draining. If I need to cry but can't quite get it out, all I have to do is play the song and it's all over.I wish there was more information about Melvin, Eddie David's life. Otis's wife and children were shown and so was Paul's family. However; I really enjoyed the movie very much. And I am really sorry that I missed out on the book. Is there going to be another book? I really hope so. When I first saw the miniseries, I found it to be a really sad story. They attained the fame and the riches that they wanted, but they sacrificed so much to get it. It was really an emotional movie.

Summary: Temptations are Contagious (Temptatious)
Review: This movie had me from go. Especially when the Temps auditioned for "Barry Gordy" and the Motown Family. They performed "Oh Mother", and it blew me away. I watch this movie so much, I have my four-year old hooked as well. He loves to perform "My Girl". He even does the dances. The actors were FANTASTIC, and did their research. If any of you have seen them perform on T.V. (or live) back in the day, you will know that they did their homework for this movie. Especially Leon, who portrayed David Ruffin. Had the moves DOWN! I love this movie. Even if you have no idea who the Temps are, you will fall in love. It's clean, good fun for the entire family to enjoy. I watch this movie about 3 to 4 times a week. Try it, you have nothing to lose, and an enjoyable movie to gain.

Summary: Brilliant
Review: Before this movie, I liked the Temptations but I didn't realize just how talented they actually were. The actors in this movie: Terron Brooks, Charles Malik Whitfield , DB Woodside, Christian Payton, and Leon did an excellent job in portraying these fellows. This movie is filled with the ups and downs that the group endured along with songs that make you boogie. Plus, if you're confused about all of the people who came in an out of the group over the years this movie's got it covered up until the late 80's. If you loved the Jacksons miniseries or the Little Richard story you'll love the Temptations!
