Customer Reviews of The Temptations
Adds 'Sunshine' to Anyone's 'Cloudy Day'! Never, NEVER have I considered myself to be a massive "Repeat Viewer" in the past. However, after discovering this video at my mom's house, I decided to borrow it and give it a watch. 7 weeks! That's how long it took for me to finally have the strength to give it back! I LOVED THIS FILM- Terrific characters, acting that could even jerk the tears from Mr.T, incredible songs, and addicting dancing! In short, this movie has it all and will make you an instant fan wheather yu're a fan or not. Without EVER owning an album by the Temps, I now have 8 CD's & counting after viewing the film- YOU WILL TOO-PROMISE! This film refreshingly brings to life everything fans could hope for- and educates 'virgins' on just how great of a group they were. I own the book "Temptations" by the group's founder Otis Williams and, sure, there may be a few differences between fact and fiction in some minor spots- but in no way are any MAJOR liberties taken to falsify the actual story. This is a film the whole family can sit & enjoy together, watching it over and over again with the same enthusiasm as the first time. Bravo to the entire cast & crew for turning one of the Greatest groups in the world into one of the most entertaining stories in a long time. WHERE CAN I FIND A COPY OF THE SOUNDTRACK! It once existed, but only for a very limited time. If anyone could offer ANY help (There's $$ involved if you can! ), PLEASE email me at ctdodd@earthlink.net BUY THIS VIDEO- and thank yourself for each time you'll be popping this (video) in the VCR!
Fantastic Movie
I wasn't able to watch the movie when it aired on NBC. But I purchased the DVD a year ago and fell in love with the movie. Watching actor Leon portrayed David Ruffin's character was wonderful and somewhat spooky. He played that role to a tee. Leon sounded like David, had the same mannerism as David that it was so amazing.
I was proud at the performances by all the actors in the movie. Even though she had a small part, I was proud of Rhonda Ross Kendrick who is Diana Ross' and Berry Gordy's daughter who played Maxine, Paul's wife, I was proud of her performance as well.
Sure there were inconsistencies in the movie. Yes, the producers of the movies should have let the audience, particularly the younger audiences know what happened to the lives of these wonderful, yet troubled men who made up the Tempting Temptations.
(...)want to know about all that, read Otis' book or do research for yourself. But other than that, the movie was excellent in my book. The choreography in this movie was OUTSTANDING. The music was fantastic and the costumes was fabulous.
I would recommend this movie wholeheartedly. Yes, in some ways this movie is factual as well as fictional, but it is still worth watching and it will make you go out and read the book and do your own research about this fantastic group who will always be the number one in my book.
an amazing movie
i have to be honest i really wasn't all that interested in the movie,at first anyway...i first saw the movie while i was in the wonderful city of detroit, michigan... i went to hitsville, usa,(the motown museum), i found the location where paul williams shot himself, where david ruffin was buried, where all five the the classic five lived, and basically roamed their old stomping grounds. this was an amazing experience for me, probably the most interesting... during all of this chaos of me getting all exited about everything there is to see in detroit, i had the honor of speaking with one of david ruffin's children, david ruffin jr. well that topped it all off...this was all before i watched the movie, so of course i didn't know how truly amazing it was standing in studio a where they recorded until i watched the movie... i was bawling by the end, it was an amazing movie although it isn't all completely true, like on the new years scene al really sent paul to the hospital, and melvin really passed on in a hospital in los angeles, it was the best movie i've seen... so to all the actors who where in this movie, you really gave me a completely different look at motown, thank you otis, and everyone who produced the movie... and i have to say, Leon, you were wonderful in the five heart beats, little richard, i have watched your movies, you're an amazing actor and i hope to see you in more movies in the future...
