Movie Reviews of The Temptations
Movie Review: Great biography of one greatest R&B Group of the sixties
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great movie if you like biographical drama of the entertainment industry. It filled,with drama, musical numbers performed by the actors who portrait this famous group. There is love, unity, friendship, egoism, etc. This is real story of a group's humble beginnings to their ending. You love the music, the drama and the actors.Movie Review: The Temptations
Summary: 5 Stars
The Temptations were one of my favorite groups growing up in the Detroit area. When the movie came out I had to see it and absolutely loved it. I had always wondered what had happened to everyone in the group so many years later. It tells how they got started, all the obstacles they had to overcome to make it to the top. It tells about all of their lives and what happened to them all and what stardom did to many of them. It is a great movie with great music! I thoroughly enjoyed it and wanted it for my collection. It's a very good movie.Movie Review: The Temptations ( T.V. Movie )
Summary: 5 Stars
This made for T.V. movie should have been on the silver screen. I couldn't tear myself away from it. I have seen the Temptations in concert several times and this movie shows the human side of these superstar performers. I will watch this movie over and over again. If you love the Motown magic you won't be disappointed with this movie.Movie Review: Temptations (VHS version)
Summary: 3 Stars
I had already watched this on DVD. A reviewer said that the DVD version was cut - much shorter than the VHS one. So, based on this, I got the VHS version. I was disappointed to find that in actuality it was the VHS version that was cut, not the DVD. Sorry I wasted money on the VHS version. UNcut, this movie is a mustsee for Temptations fans.
In 1967, after a Temptations concert at the old Latin Casino, my buddies and I accepted an invitation up to their suite. Although all of the group members we met were friendly and perfect gentlemen, I remember David Ruffin above all. Mr. Ruffin chatted with us, played records for us, let us take his picture with us, was down to earth, friendly, and very funny. I saw no evidence of the unstable and troubled David Ruffin who was fired between '67 and '68 who is portrayed in the movie. He was the perfect gentleman that night with us. That is a wonderful memory indeed.
Movie Review: Great movie that took me back...
Summary: 5 Stars
It's rare that a TV movie reaches this level of quality and emotion.
I grew up in the 50s and 60s, so Motown played a big part in my teenage years. I loved the Temptations. I bought their albums and watched them on TV any time they were on. But, it wasn't until I saw this movie that I understood better how they came to be "The Temptations".
I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoyed the Motown sound. The cast and acting are great, the late 50s and 60s era are recreated accurately, and it takes you on a journey you wish you could have been a part of.
