Dreadfully Boring

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

*Spoiler/plot- 1998, This singing group were a rhythm and blues sensation, five singers who created a sound and style that redefined the boundaries of a popular song. But there was a price to be paid for their meteoric rise, and when the pressures of staying in the spotlight became too great to bear, egos flared, giving rise to rivalries that threatened to tear them apart forever. But through it all, from triumph to tragedy, The Temptations forged a musical legacy that brought the country together….and audiences to their feet.*Special Stars- Terron Brooks, Christain Payton, Charles Malik, OB Woodside, Obba Babatunde, Jennifer Lewis, Alan Rosenberg, and Leon.*Theme- Family and artistic talent, when nurtured will produce greatness.*Based on- Detroit's Motown Records history.*Trivia/location/goofs- TV NBC miniseries re-cut to a feature film.*Emotion- An unforgettable film of good acting, interesting story and drama for anyone to watch. This film was full of great musical performances. It told the plain truth about the times that gave a chance for inner city Detroit black youth to get into the music business producing their huge success. A feel good movie.

I must admit - the Tempts were my favorite Motown group. I knew a lot about them. But not nearly as much as this film portrays. I quickly fell into the category of believing that these 5 (or 7 with Richard Street and Dennis Edwards) actors were the real thing.The emotion in this story can be best seen in the woman's eyes at the Eddie Kendricks solo show when he and guest David Ruffin serenade her with "You're My Everything." And Ruffin's audition on New Year's Eve when he first opens his mouth in "Shout" drew revere from the four Tepts who performed the encore.I could write for hours about this film. But if you have any interest in Motown or any music form the 60's or any era, this is absolutely a MUST SEE.And - II met Otis WIlliams recently and I asked him 2 questions: 1) Which voice was hardest to replace (answer - none) and 2) Which original Tempt does he miss the most (answer - Melvin "Blue" Franklin, of course)."And the band played on...." Melvin Franklin

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..

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.
