Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

iviewsnews Watched this New Years Eve with my husband, this music was "our era" and this movie was just soooooo good. Think I appreciate the Temps more so after watching this move. The actor who plays David Ruffin, was one sexy hoot ! Spellbinding...loved the Eddie Kendricks character/actor too, he was such a cutie ! Best thing for me was the earlier performances...the actor who plays Ruffin can move! Whoa. Great great movie!

carolinadreamin66 I stumbled upon this movie by accident. Never even heard about it. Saw it for the first time last year. My roommate had bought it from the local Walmart. I missed the beginning but saw enough to know I had to keep watching it. I was truly mesmerized by what I saw. I was not a Temptations fan growing up. I'm from the original MTV era. My musical interest are all over the place! Duran Duran, Journey, Pat Benatar, Def Leppard,that's the stuff I liked back then. Today it's country Tim McGraw, Faith Hill,and some classic rock, but also The Spinners, and now The Temptations.Now I have my own place, and The Temptations movie was the first DVD I purchased. I just got in the mail The Temptations Emperors of Soul, and let me tell you it's a 5 disc, 105 songs total. I was blown away!! I recommend it to anyone who is a "Temp." fan. I'm not sure about the last 2 cd's in the set cause it's song from 1972 forward, it's after the Paul and David Ruffin era. But I will give it a listen.The actors they got to portray the singers did an excellent job of bringer the singers to film. I think Leon looks more David Ruffin, then the real David Ruffin. (lol) And I could look at Christian Payton forever!!! It's a shame there is not an original soundtrack featuring the actors singing the songs they preformed for the movie. This would be a cool cd to own along with the move.I do want to give a "shout out" about Dennis Edwards. He has a strong earthy voice, that just grabs you. He was also a contributor to the Temps, and the success of their music. Even though the movie focused on the 5 founding members, he stepped in when David stepped out.

mo_price I loved this movie, I have seen it 3 times. At the end when Smokey Robinson sings "goodbye my buddy, goodbye my friend"..........oh my gosh the tears just roll!!!! I would watch it again. To see these men work so hard to get where they got was so satisfying. ANd the characters looked so much like the real people. I just loved the whole thing....and you could just see the bond that they had. They loved each other, even through the bad times. When David Ruffin fell on hard times, they still loved him. Otis was only looking out for the group, you could see in his face he hated sending him away. SO to the Temptations, may you always be in our hearts..........

jglo67 I have watched the Temptations Movie over and over again, I must say i love this movie, what amazes me is i really never seen the actors in too many movies, but these guys should have all been given some award for the acting they did, they had the moves down like jamie foxx had ray charles, this movie should have went to the big screen it was so sad it did not, i mean the dancing was impeccable, in have read anything i could find on this group, they had such tragic lives, paul was ill from sickle cell, and he was shot in head , the opposite side, meaning he could not have shot himself, but the movie still did an excellent excellent job, i vote for the big screen it's never too late they repeat movies all the time,leon i swear had David ruffin in his soul, talk about a tear jerker, i went to mr. ruffin's grave and i intend to go paul's too eddie is in birmingham, melvin in l.a. and thank God Otis is still with us, I love them all..
