Nonureva Really Surprised!
Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
mscocobelle As a avoid-er of most Tyler Perrys movies due to the constant and insulting black clichés, I'm reading the disparaging comments here and it appears they don't see the blatant statements that Tyler Perry was attempting to make. It's a shame that in movies everything has to be spelled out and viewers no longer want to use their imaginations. 1. The different narrator represents that although the person speaking is talking about herself, she is a completely different person after this ordeal. 3. Lance Gross was chosen as Judith's husband to indicate that her husband was VERY attractive, and most people don't usually cheat based on looks, but how that someone made them feel. How many times have we've seen men cheat with BS, when they have a beautiful wife at home??? All of the time! 4. The age & appearance differences in the end represent the emotional toll and internal stress/pain that Brice and Judith both suffered as a result of the affair, while Melinda/Karen emotionally heals and although has HIV, is in a better place with time, hence she still looks young. 5. The birthday excuse and petty nit-picking also correctly depicts how small issues are magnified, providing justification and to reduce guilt. 6. Harley's character also depicts how someone's trash (Melinda) can be someone else's treasure. Additionally, his forcefulness was regarded as abusive by Melinda which is why she lived in fear, and passionate by Judith, perhaps that same passion she felt was missing from her marriage, as we watch Judith become Melinda. 7. The use of drugs represent an addiction or "high" received from sex for Harley and the addiction of attention for Judith instead of them tackling their past deep rooted issues. 8. Her mother represents her conscience, the constant reminder of her Christian upbringing/background and acknowledging right from wrong, finally reuniting and left alone with her conscience.I will reiterate, I am definitely not a fan of Tyler Perry, however this movie is overall thought provoking and worth viewing.
karagoraymond Someone, please, please, tell Tyler Perry to stop making movies please. Its just one contrived, forced, heavily religious themed film after another. This is no exception.I really don't have much to say, the acting ranged from being dead on boring (the main character) to being so over the top, I felt like I was watching a cartoon (the mother), there were forced Christian themes (and this is coming from a Christian by the way. The plot was predictable from the opening credits to the end credits. I honestly can't even take away any positives.The film's characters are also so hollow, so one dimension that I felt that these were the draft of characters, not fully formed characters. Overall, Temptation is boring, predictable and is actually one of Tyler Perry's worst, and that is saying a lot.
Craig Jacobs Brilliant story, acting needs work... "Movie should be a stepping stone when trying to bring a meaningful message across to audiences" This movie is the line between write and wrong. It highlights things that are seen by many in todays society as a fulfilled life, fancy things that means nothing! It screams out for people to remember family for what it means/represents in life. Most people will not understand the message Tyler Perry brings through this movie as they are consumed by what life offers today. Stop being ruled by this world and make your mark on it. I gave it a 10 out of 10 not because of the acting but because of the message it brings.
heena-baby Brilliant storyline. My sister made me watch this and id read bad reviews so thought it wouldn't be that good. Caught me by surprise with a few things that happened. Few shockers. I was hooked. Kim k cant really act but so what? She wasn't so bad. Jus because shes in a few scenes.. don't mean the movies rubbish or anything. But the main people are brilliant. Personally I loved this movie and I don't understand why there's so many bad reviews. It had me gripped. Grass isn't always greener on the other side. Loved the message it gave out, and loved the ending! So not expected. I think it should be watched. Too bad its so underrated!
