Over the weekend my wife and I decided to see this film because she's a huge Tyler Perry fan and she's been wanting to see it badly. I really wasn't to enthused about seeing this movie because I am not a Tyler Perry fan.

First off, this movie was just as predictable as his others. Just like some other Tyler Perry movies my wife and I saw together, I was commentating some parts of the movie to her before it even happened. Now there was one part towards the end that did take me by surprise.

When ever I get the misfortune of watching a Tyler Perry film, I can sit through the entire movie and not crack one smile, but Vanessa Williams(Janice) and Renee Taylor(Chapman) had a couple of funny parts that did make me chuckle a bit.

With all that being said, this movie was a little better than his others. Now I still wouldn't pay to see it in a theater or buy it on DVD. I would just wait till it got to RedBox and pay $1.31.

Tyler Perry's Temptation stars Lance Gross and Jurnee Smollett-Bell, as they play husband and wife(Brice & Judith). Brice and Judith relocate to Virginia and although both have achieved their educational goals, they have not settled in to their professional careers.

Brice is very realistic with his long term financial plans, and he is satisfied in where he's at in life. Judith appears to be disappointed in herself, and in a way she feels she is overqualified and under-appreciated in her present position. To a degree, Judith also feels this way regarding her marriage.

Along comes billionaire entrepreneur Harley. Now, this is where I think Perry dropped the ball, in the way in which Harley and Judith interacted with each other. Harley arrives at Judith's workplace, and he is interested in investing in the business, which is a High Profile Matchmaking Service. Someone of Harley's stature usually has financial advisor's, accountants, consultants and attorneys doing all of the leg work. Every time Harley goes to the business, he's alone - none of his entourage are with him. If the business was profitable, someone like Harley would either open their own business of a similar nature, or flat out buy that business.

At some point in the movie for this storyline to work - Harley and Judith would have had to come across each other, but it made no sense for all of the initial contact to occur at the business. Prior to this it was revealed they had seen each other in the park on Saturday's while they were jogging. They could have had that initial contact there.

Harley develops a personal interest in Judith, knowing that she is married. That really doesn't matter for Harley, because he was the type of character/person that whatever he wants he will get. Harley represents everything that Judith wants and desires at this particular point in her life. Judith is thinking of the big picture - Money, Power, and Fame, and Harley represents all those qualities. She wants it all, and unfortunately her greed costs her almost everything.

I still can't figure out why Kim Kardashian's character, Ava, was even in the movie. She was a non-factor, and Perry must have known he was going to get shredded for using her.

Brandy Norwood plays Melinda, who also has a past, and her character was not needed as well, as it becomes so predictable.

The ending left you leaving with more questions than answers as you were trying to figure what, where, when did this take place and how did this come about.

I will say this, the movie was approximately 110 or so minutes long, and it did keep my attention.

It was almost like Perry got tired at the conclusion and he just wanted to end it, rather than explain what transpired between the characters.

The concept was decent but the actual movie could have been better.

Here is a brief list of what I found to be some of the main flaws of this film.

1. First of all, I know it's been said in some of the other reviews before me but; the husband, Brice (Lance Gross) should have played the Harley character, the guy who Judith has the affair with and Harley (Robbie Jones) should have played the husband. I just did not find the guy playing Harley to be attractive at all so I could not get into this idea that a woman would go for him that easily. Point is, if you're going to make a movie about someone having an affair, at least make the "temptation" tempting!

2. My next problem with this film was that the characters were well developed but it took most of the film to get this done which ended up leaving about 30 minutes to really get the action going. Basically, Judith gets involved with this guy, starts doing drugs and leaves Brice all in the last minutes of the film. I agree with the development of characters in a story but we already know from the trailer that this is a movie about a woman cheating on her husband; just get to the point!

3. This next reasoning I have was sort of my fault; but I still have to say that I do not want to hear a Sunday morning service when I go to the movies. And I should have known from previous Tyler Perry's films and plays that he does put in a bit of his Christian beliefs into his work but this film was so over the top in that area that is was borderline offensive.

4. Finally, I just have to say that if you think giving someone a sexually transmitted disease at the end of every film you make is the best way to get your audience to connect with your characters/story, then you have so much to learn. This is not only insensitive but shows a lack of creativity and growth as a writer, director and producer.
