I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Strong and Moving!

Absolutely Fantastic

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Like a previous writer I too found this film by accident, watching late night TV one night and it came on and I was hooked. Imagine my delight when I saw it for sale for 99p in a bargain basket. Terron Brooks(Eddie Kendricks), DB Woodside(Melvin Franklin), Charles Malik Whitfield(Otis Williams), Christian Payton(Paul Williams), and Leon(David Ruffin) all did amazing job acting as the temptations, especially Leon as David Ruffin, the likenesses were really good and they did a really good job when performing the Temptations hits. I love the Temptations music in all its incarnations. It is a shame that the film had such a slant towards Otis, but then it was based on his book so I guess that was bound to happen. I would have loved to have seen more Motown stars featured, where was Stevie Wonder? The music of the Temptations will live on and for that reason this film is a must for any fan.

I'm a 28 year old who happens to have an old soul; and LOVE the classic R&B of the 60s, 70s & 80s. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before I watched The Temptations. After watching it, however, I must say that it left a bad taste in my mouth. Obviously, I wasn't around during this time so I don't even have a story/rumor of my own to compare to what's portrayed here. But seeing that Otis Williams is the only surviving original member, that it's based on the book that he wrote, and that he's one of the executive producers of this film...there's a HUGE slant in his favor; making this film very disingenuous.The other people involved in this story, including Eddie Kendricks, David Ruffin, and Paul Williams, obviously can't defend themselves or tell their side of the story; so anything shown here has to be taken with a grain of salt. Otis comes off as a complete saint. Oh, okay.....so he cheated on his wife; compared to everybody else's problems that's nothing. Not to trivialize adultery one bit, the image being portrayed here about him being the glue that kept the group together, and him being the level head throughout....I could not help but be VERY skeptical about what I was seeing. I must say that it left a pretty bad taste in my mouth. I know everything about "artistic license" and whatnot, but this is too much. How did Otis know that Paul drove by Hitsville before killing himself? Or that David was at a crack-house, therefore missing the reunion show? His character narrates some of these scenes as if he was a fly on the wall while they were happening. There are a few scenes like this, which just SCREAMS 'bulls_*t'.I find it basically deplorable that he would slant everything in his favor like this. I find a lot of what's portrayed here hard to believe. As far as him being the anchor of the group; he never sang lead in a song, he was always backup singing and wasn't even that great a dancer. Yet HE calls ALL of the shots and doesn't fall victim to ANY of the pressures of show business (minus adultery)?? Insanity. With all of that said, the acting was brilliant; Leon and Christian Payton especially.The Temptations' influence on music and inner turmoil alone makes for an intriguing story for a film. Unfortunately for us, we can only get one side of the story, and I for one refuse to swallow this pill; as it just reeks of inaccuracies and self-serving fluff by Otis Williams.5/10

I love, love, love this movie. It's awesome and the actors who played the Temptations were incredible! I loved Christian Payton and Terron Brooks, and the others were great too. It's a sad movie, and also a funny one too. I know every single line of that movie, and every time I watch it, the part almost at the end when Paul kills himself makes me cry every freaking time. I just love that movie, it's my favorite. The director did a great job. I would definitely recommend this movie to everybody who loves The Temptations. I have two copies of this movie, so I have a backup if the other one gets scratched up. This movie is so good that i watch it almost every night and I still don't get bored by it, it's that good.

I have seen thousands and thousands of movies and own 400 DVD and this is my favorite its the best movie ever.It is simply amazing what these guys went through especially Otis its amazing. Some of the best writing I have seen in a long time and great directing. This movie was so powerful it could make the roughest toughest guy come down in tear such an amazing great movie that deserves 20 Emmy and 50 Oscars this never became to big but I'm trying to get this movie out its so great to come watch this movie and listen to some of the best music ever written the singing is great I don't know if they lip'sync or sung because each one was amazing. I recommend everyone to come and see this movie buy it or rent it.
