Watch Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor For Free

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Someone, please, please, tell Tyler Perry to stop making movies please. Its just one contrived, forced, heavily religious themed film after another. This is no exception.I really don't have much to say, the acting ranged from being dead on boring (the main character) to being so over the top, I felt like I was watching a cartoon (the mother), there were forced Christian themes (and this is coming from a Christian by the way. The plot was predictable from the opening credits to the end credits. I honestly can't even take away any positives.The film's characters are also so hollow, so one dimension that I felt that these were the draft of characters, not fully formed characters. Overall, Temptation is boring, predictable and is actually one of Tyler Perry's worst, and that is saying a lot.

This movie seems to say a lot about how the director believes women should behave, and none of it is what would be considered "empowering." If you somehow didn't pick up on the subtext, you might think this was just a mediocre soap opera about a wife who was tempted into an affair by a wealthy entrepreneur. Her husband seems to bring it on himself by being such an inattentive milquetoast. Except that Tyler Perry clearly believes that a man has every right to live a life devoid of ambition or enthusiasm and still expect his wife to wait on him obediently. Most of the performances were fine, although Kim Kardashian is laughable. You get a twist ending and a bleak final shot to help everyone understand just what a hell your life will be if you choose a life of sin. What a silly little film.

Tyler Perry's Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor would barely pass the muster of a Lifetime movie of the week if it weren't for the first part of the title. Tyler Perry slaps his name on any given piece of garbage that's called a screenplay and it can get made - it helps, I suppose, that his movies are always made for peanuts, the kind of budgets that would make Woody Allen on his small-scale character pieces 'Wow, that's rough'. Perry may care and be passionate about his material (certainly he's passionate enough about Jesus and the church, not just here but in many of his films), but he has such a dearth of talent that it's nothing short of remarkable.His story here, good God, is about a 'good girl gone bad' scenario, which is framed by the sort of dramatic device which (um, spoiler sort of not really?) will involve the main character in some way, though we won't know how until the end. But here, it's about a woman who has a man, and she meets a rather "devilish" young gentleman (why do I even bother with quotes, HE'S THE DEVIL, PEOPLE!) who comes in to this firm as a new client or other. Well, who cares what he does really - matter of the situation is, he is rich, powerful, looks and acts like a playboy, and is a rotten person really.But why should the 'good girl' know about that, in such a cautionary tale? Wait, I'm sorry, 'cautionary'? That's not putting it correct - this is like a man holding up a hundred stop-lights that are flashing at a mile a second in front of your face. There are also attempts once or twice at humor - the kind of boring, awful sort of bits of comedy that are ill-timed and poorly thought out and acted. Wait, there's acting here? Some of them try, and no I don't mean to pick on Kim Kardashian, she's not even really the worst of it. What sucks is seeing someone like Smollett-Bell (at one time was the Eve in the underrated Eve's Bayou) or even Vanessa Williams not even try to rise above the dreck that is the script.Or maybe it's a combination platter of terrible. Certainly the dialog is laughably bad throughout, the kind that's usually either far far FAR too obvious, or over the top, or trying to be clever or poignant every-single-step-of-the-way, and ultimately no one is allowed to really be a person. Everyone's a sign-post, a marker, another piece of the MESSAGE (in caps) that Perry is trying to sling at the audience like a monkey throwing feces with a serious look on his face. It's hysterical filmmaking of a terrible order with its double-crosses, insane tonal shifts, and by the end it just leaves you completely drained and wondering 'what the HELL did I just watch?' In other words, The Room - Tommy Wiseau's magnum opus to himself and love and life - had more nuance than this rom-drama claptrap. It might not be so insulting as well if it didn't take things in drama that should or could or would be handled with care and vitality and depth - infidelity, sexuality, sexually transmitted disease - and bungle them, miserably.

the movie was quite beautifully made, so i gave a three star and the story line was quite a surprise at the end even though everything else was very predictable. the Judith character just doesn't make sense. i don't know what got into the mind of the story write or does/he know how a woman with ambition of her career just doesn't turn into a crack-head in a few days. why someone with that kind of ambition becomes an drug user within just a few days. if she was Ava to begin with...then the whole story line really make sense. or maybe the movie should say Judith had a bipolar disorder. the whole story line was so make believe without really understand what it takes to be successful. and who on earth would expect their career to take off after working less than 3 years? she supposedly to have a master degree, so she went to college and go straight to graduate school that's totally 6 years. 18+6= 24 years old. did the write know how long does it take to get a master degree. if she's in her mid 30s then this would have made a whole lot more sense. i am convinced the story write got no education at all. and the billionaire - he's a billionaire so he could afford to invest in the matchmaker and Judith's career. it's not like he's buying a huge piece of land in Manhattan and build a 100 story high rise. it seems like this movie is made for someone who doesn't have any sense of how this world work or grew up in a desert island.and why most of T.Perry's movies are about women betraying their husbands for a rich man????
