An
exploration of the intrigue and perils of infidelity, Tyler Perry's Temptation
is a compelling love story that dives straight into the heart of obsessive
passion. “It's about a woman who starts to get restless in her relationship and
her choice to be with another man has a huge effect on the rest of her life,"
explains screenwriter/producer/director Tyler Perry. "She goes on a journey – in
her career and in her marriage – and she ends up in a very different place than
she expected." In a departure from his previous dramas, this explosive film
finds Perry exploring the nature of desire – and just how powerful and dangerous
a taste of the forbidden can be. "This is definitely one of the most provocative
movies – sexually and otherwise – that I've made," says the director. "There are
a lot of people who struggle in their relationships. They make bad choices about
their marriages. They get divorced. And so many of them don't step out of their
situation and really think about the consequences of what they're doing. This
movie asks, 'Are you sure you want to do this?’ It sends up a
flag."
This was pretty much another
textbook Tyler Perry movie without Madea. It's great character drama where the
small group of characters are very well developed and you are interested in
where they will go based on their decisions/actions. For awhile it was actually
less melodramatic than most of his other fare without any major incidents that
the characters had to deal with but then it kind of ended up going that way
anywho.
I would definitely recommend
this to anyone who has liked Tyler Perry's previous movies like this. It's
different in that its mostly about desire and thinking the grass is greener on
the other side instead of the usual rising above/redemption kind of
stuff.
