The best part of the movie is when they use Jazmine Sullivan's song, "I'm in love with another man"...that part always gives me chills. After that it goes downhill. I will say this is one of Tyler Perry's best movies, but that's not saying a lot when most of his movies suck. Good Deeds, The Family that Preys, and this one are his best, but it's only because of the incredible actors like Taraji P., Sanaa in The Family that Preys and Jurnee and Lance that makes Temptation really good. The plot is very weak and the dialogue even weaker. It's amazing that they were able to bring great performances out of the badly written script.

This is probably one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen. Not only because it preaches pseudo-morals but because it makes absolutely no sense. OK, so you want to tell the world that if you don't stay with your boring husband who forgets your birthday two years in a row, you will burn in hell. Fine, if that's what you think. But do you have to throw in all the bad stuff just because? Seriously, who believes that?So we have this rich guy, who's supposed to be the next Mark Zuckerberg and who states himself that he is a workaholic. Now, imagine Zuckerberg would beat all his girlfriends, sleep around in parties and take drugs all day long: Wouldn't we all know that, because he's famous? Wouldn't we all know that ZUckerberg, Bill Gates, whoever on Forbes hits his wife? Come on! And how can it be that he is a workaholic, but then turns out he's taking drugs and partying all the time and actually never works? His ex girlfriend is super scared, we see how she walks into her apartment and takes a bat, just in case he's there, she wants to move away cause he came in where she works, she changed her name and yet, she is still living in the same city! Maker perfect sense, Tyler Perry.I don't want to bother you with more details, just don't watch this crap from someone who obviously doesn't have a very high opinion about women or sex.

I don't understand everyone's hate for Tyler Perry?! I have loved all his movies! Especially 4 Coloured Girls and The Why did I get Married movies. He is a great writer and his movies keep my interest from start to finish and this one was no different! I loved everything about this movie, and the cast, it was great! The ending was so shocking and not expected! I would watch this movie over and over! I even didn't mind Kim in it, I mean she wasn't all that bad! I was surprised, but in all honesty, I think she was just being herself, which was probably easy for her. I would totally recommend this movie to anyone! I love Tyler Perry and I hope he continues to write movies!

I don't know why these reviews are so harsh. I wouldn't call myself a Tyler Perry fan because so many of his movies seem goofy, but this film was serious, had something to say, and the twist ending will stay with you for a while. Some of the reviewers did not watch very well, because the questions they had were clearly answered in the movie. I found Judith's descent into "the devil's seduction" very believable - She was tired of waiting for her bland life to start and her husband, though a wonderful guy, was definitely taking her for granted. Forgetting your spouse's marriage is something I've seen in people's marriage when it is clearly over. When you are married to the love of your life, no matter how busy work is, you plan their birthday days, if not weeks in advance because you are asking them how they want to spend it. Not a justification for cheating, just a sign you need to get on the same page. So both Brice and Judith were asleep in their marriage, which is common when you've been with someone for years and years and are busy trying to establish your career. Judith did resist Harley's charms at first, but how much could one person take, especially when your spouse is so engrossed in a sports game he doesn't even notice you leave the house? The problem with Judith and Brice, as in most marriages that fall apart, is they didn't communicate. Judith though refusing Harley's initial advances was enough, but she should have talked to Brice about it and stopped working with Harley. And Brice, picking his wife up at strange, rich man's house after she calls him because she hurt her ankle jogging, waits two whole days to ask her one question about it - "Did you go jogging with Harley?" So that was either a character flaw or a script writing flaw. In real life, that conversation would have happened in the car home that Saturday morning. I could ignore the stony shallow acting of Kim Kardashian's Ava because it was a small part and I know she is not a professional actor, and the awkwardness of Renee Taylor's Chapman's non-empathic comments because sometimes the characters needed a tough old lady to smile sweetly and say, "You can't run forever." And Vanessa William's bad French accent because Judith calls it out in the end and those are Tyler Perry signs of humor that were way tamed down for this serious cautionary tale. As Ella Joyce's Sarah reminds us, the devil, or the illusion of pleasure and material wealth, which is powerful enough to bring down marriages, lives, and civilizations is not all it's cracked up to be, but as the ending credits song says, "Let love guide you home." The choices we make can alter our and our loved one's lives. May not be an Academy award winner but great acting efforts by Jurnee Smollett-Boll, Brandy, Ella Joyce, and Lance Gross. I enjoyed the film and hope Tyler Perry creates some more cautionary tales- we need them!
