Have you seen Tyler Perry's newest movie, Temptation? Before, I start the review. This movie was only showing at 2,000 movie theaters, compare to the Croods that was showing at 4,000 movie theaters and G.I. Joe was showing at 3,700 theaters. Keep this in mind......I will do a future blog on this topic.
Back to the review.......An ambitious married woman's named Judith (played by Jurnee- Smollett- Bell) is seduce by a handsome billionaire (played by Robbie Jones) leads to betrayal, recklessness, and this affair will change your life forever.
Judith (Jurnee) and Brice (Lance) get hitched, they move to D.C.and set out on their careers. Brice is happy being a pharmacist; the more ambitious Judith lands a gig at a high-end millionaire matchmaker service as a relationship counselor, where Vanessa Williams is boss, who had a french accent in the movie.
Then, one day, a charming millionaire named Harley (Robbie Jones) comes into Judith’s office and needed help about a joint business deal. But it quickly turned into him relentlessly pursues her, with his money and his 8 pack abs. Judith was getting restless and bored with Brice at home and Harley was giving her all the attention that she needed. The relationship between Judith and Harley went from 1 - 100 within a couple of scenes. Many women would had just been happy with Lance Gross taking off his shirt in the movie than watch the relationship between Judith and Harley unfold. Haley told his Judith that he's crazy in love, to normal people that's a red flag to run the other direction but not for Judith. Harley expose Judith to drug, money, and a lavish lifestyle. At this point, the movie is very predictable but entertaining at the same time.
I didn't like the ending of the movie and thought it could had been better. No happy endings this time around.
Grade: B
Tyler Perry had this to say in one his interview about the movie: This is definitely one of the most provocative movies - sexually and otherwise - that I've made," says the director. "There are a lot of people who struggle in their relationships. They make bad choices about their marriages. They get divorced. And so many of them don't step out of their situation and really think about the consequences of what they're doing. This movie asks, 'Are you sure you want to do this?' It sends up a flag."
Cast: Jurnee Smollett-Bell (Judith), Lance Gross (Brice), Kim Kardashian (Ava), Vanessa Williams (Janice), Robbie Jones (Harley), Renée Taylor (Ms. Waco Chapman), Ella Joyce (Sarah) and Brandy Norwood (Melinda).
