Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor Ratings & Reviews
Grantland
Wesley Morris
Perry's movies have become so thematically grandiose, visually incoherent, and self-defensively bourgeois that the only way to receive them lately is as a cynic.
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
Straitlaced and sermonizing, this is a sluggish cautionary tale about deviating from righteous church teachings.
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
Smollett-Bell, Gross, and Brandy work hard to bring an emotional authenticity to their characters and relationships--an authenticity that is ultimately negated by questionable choices in Perry's script and direction.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Perry has now built a media empire from spinning his own wheels.
jackiekcooper.com
Jackie K. Cooper
Tyler Perry has found a star in Jurnee Smollett-Bell.
Village Voice
Zachary Wigon
Perry has some worthwhile filmic models-Temptation gestures at Woody Allen in its setup, and Douglas Sirk in its melodrama-but he isn't even in the same star cluster as those greats.
Washington Post
Jen Chaney
Look, we know what's going to happen. The movie's called Temptation, okay? Yet we still have to sit through more than an hour of flirty glances and repetitive conversations between Judith and Harley until anything vaguely adulterous occurs.
Chicago Sun-Times
Peter Sobczynski
Tyler Perry's Temptation is an awful, awful film and while it is easy to mock and dismiss, it is also kind of a shame to behold.
Slant Magazine
Calum Marsh
When its third act erupts into full-blown theatrical maximalism, Tyler Perry's Temptation practically turns into Brian De Palma's Temptation.
New York Times
Andy Webster
Limp pacing and countless shots of Washington's skyline plague the narrative.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
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.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
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.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
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.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
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.
New York Daily News
Miriam Bale
The mixed tones don't quite meld; While Smollet-Bell is fine, the broad comedy is so sporadic it feels out of place.
MSN Movies
Kate Erbland
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.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
This heavy-handed melodrama represents one of Tyler Perry's weakest efforts ever, and that's saying something.
Variety
Scott Foundas
A ludicrous marital drama-cum-morality play from contemporary black cinema's most prolific multihyphenate.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
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?
Film.com
William Goss
The first half is a functional (if exceedingly predictable) melodrama before devolving, just as predictably, into a cautionary cartoon.
