A great made for TV biopic. - The Temptations review by CP Customer
I have to admit I'm not much of a fan of The Temptations as a musical act, but I am a sucker for these made for TV 'true life story' mini series. Clocking in at a nearly three hours long, the story captures the rise and fall of one of the biggest soul groups in America, and is told in such an engrossing way that you won't even realise how long it is. If you like a good story and some decent acting, then this is well worth watching
