Movie Reviews of The Temptations
Movie Review: The Temptations-1998 TV miniseries
Summary: 5 Stars
I never knew the Temptations' story until I saw the DVD recently. It's really interesting about the Temps rise in the 60's and the role Smokey Robinson, Berry Gordy and others played in their success. The problems with drugs and alcohol was the downfall and death of many singers of that era, but still made a fascinating trip down memory lane with the Temptations. Every one of the original group had a memorable wonderful voice which was highlighted in different songs. It made it heart-breaking to see the decline of the "better" singers, one by one. The actors could not have been better. This is a great DVD to own, and you'll definitely want to get their best album "Get Ready" to enjoy the real singers in action.Movie Review: A Movie to Love, Whether or Not You Love the Temptations
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Movie Review: Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best rock star movie i have ever seen. My family and I WE WATCH THIS MOVIE OVER AND OVER. A lot of people think that the Five Heartbeats is better, but that is so untrue. Each scene gets me closer and closer to the screen. I only have one problem with the movie. Otis, is the only original Temp and he portrayed himself to be the best and the leader and originator. He made himself look good. Which is hard to believe that he had no faults. He was seriously involved with Pattie Labelle, something he fails to mention in the movie. Also, he didn't really get into how much he cheated on his wife. He was seriously involved with Flo from the Supremes. Other than that the movie was was my favorite movie ever.Movie Review: GREAT !

If you're a fan of the Temptations or of that era of music then buy this movie! This is one of those movies you'll "get into", you see how five friends came from street corner doo wop singers to become the Temptations. You'll feel the excitement of them starting out and how they become their best when David Ruffin joins the group, to sadness at how ego's, alcohol, drugs and health problems tear them apart. The cast was Great, you feel as if you're watching the real Temptations, the songs Great,and after the emotional rollercoaster when there's only Otis left, the ending of them singing MY GIRL when they were at their best was a great way to end the movie. If they were only groups like that now!Movie Review: This is a movie you'll watch over and over
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie. The story is told in a way that you won't even realize how long it is. How could this miniseries not win an emmy? Some people have commented on slight inaccurices about the story but remember that this movie condenses 40 years of struggle and triumph into a few hours. If you want more detail I suggest that you pick up the book that the movie was based on. Some facts that were left out are really minute to the whole story. Leon's performance as David Ruffin steals the show. And FYI, the guy that played Eddie actually sang his own part except for the song paridise so give up the props. A great movie that you can watch with the entire family. Well worth the price.
