Temptation Movie Review: | |
| Limp pacing and countless shots of Washington's skyline plague the narrative. Andy Webster-New York Times A few wild, third-act twists give Perry's middling melodrama some soap-opera kick. But all the finger-wagging sure does get tiring after a while. Chris Nashawaty-Entertainment Weekly Perry's ongoing disinterest in improving as a filmmaker is now seemingly part of his unshakable belief in himself, his insistence on doing his thing his way. Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times If Perry has had one strength as a dramatist, it's been his willingness to empathize with villains as well as victims. In Temptation, he lacks even that. Rafer Guzman-Newsday The mixed tones don't quite meld; While Smollet-Bell is fine, the broad comedy is so sporadic it feels out of place. Miriam Bale-New York Daily News Perry's film lags and limps along its two-hour runtime before finally going whole hog on one of the most dizzyingly weird final acts in recent cinematic history. Kate Erbland-MSN Movies Soapy melodrama has mixed messages about love and marriage. Sandie Angulo Chen-Common Sense Media A present-day parable preaching to the choir with sobering warnings about the love of money and taking your mate for granted. The Gospel according to Tyler Perry! Kam Williams-AALBC.com When its third act erupts into full-blown theatrical maximalism, Tyler Perry's Temptation practically turns into Brian De Palma's Temptation. Calum Marsh-Slant Magazine It isn't until Temptation grows flamboyantly bad in its final act that it rises to the level of good dumb fun in the trashy tradition of Perry's most entertainingly awful films. Nathan Rabin-AV Club For rational, sane people it's bound to be considered one of the worst films of the year, but for seekers of wretched, glorious camp, it may be an instant classic. William Bibbiani-CraveOnline Not even the stunt casting of reality star Kim Kardashian can improve this bloated, soulless and unexciting novella. Wilson Morales-BlackFilm.com And really, who better to shill for the institution of marriage than 43-year-old bachelor Perry, who uses homosexuality as a punch line (or symbol of evil decadence) and HIV as a cheap plot gimmick? Alonso Duralde-The Wrap Should've been left short and sinister. Embellishing the material with superfluous detail only manages to water down the movie's inviting soap opera decadence. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com Adding the no-talent Kim Kardashian to his sass and semonette formula was a mistake. Casting four dull leads was a bigger one. Roger Moore-Movie Nation | |
