The Temptations | Year: 1998 Classification: Drama Directed: - Allan Arkush Review of Temptations movie THIS MOVIE IS FABULOUS! i first heard the temptations back in 1962 and have loved their music ever since. The gentlemen portraying the classic temptations truly brought their characters to life. What a wonderful job of choosing the men to play eddie, paul, otis, melvin, david and dennis. I have watched this movie over and over and never tire of watching and listening to the best male vocal group ever! Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the TV version of the movie - i have the shortened version now. Christian Payton, Terron Brooks truly remind me of paul and eddie. I believe Christian Payton's portrayal of Paul was haunting.This movie is a must see. I have not seen any of these young men in anything since the movie - why not? I would be interested in knowing more about them - anyone out there who could help me? MCat47@aol.com The Movie was GREAT! I absolutely enjoyed this movie. I wasn't able to view the entire series on television. So, I got the DVD. That was one of the movies my family sat down to watch last Christmas. The acting was great. I hadn't known too much about the individual Temptations - so this movie really told me a lot. The music and the performances were so good - I often hear people (from family members to my hairdresser) talking about the movie and actually trying to perform some of those dance steps!! The movie had so many moments - quite a few full of laughter and even those to make you cry. I really had no idea that the group had gone through so many break-ups and all of the different members. I also enjoyed getting to see a little bit of young Smokey Robinson (and the real Mr. Robinson at the burial scene), the Supremes and Berry Gordy. Basically, the movie was good enough to make you wanna go out and buy those old Temptations records. In the meantime, I think I'll go dig out my video of the Motown 25 Anniversary special! 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...
