If you had the foolish inkling that Tyler Perry’s Temptation would be anything other than a voyeuristic sojourn into the bed of a sexy woman and her male cohorts, well, you are emphatically, resoundingly wrong. Perry has, for the most part, made comedic films up to this point. As hard as is it is for me to say this, after seeing his first “provocative” drama, I hope he dons the Madea drag again and starts wailing “Hallelujer!”
The story revolved around a marriage counselor named Judith who looks like a supermodel. Why anyone with those cheekbones would deign to pursue a career in anything other than professional modeling would seem to be a mystery. She is used to counseling couples through the rough patches of their relationships. And then when she meets the right guy, she seems to forget her professional obligations and decides that they should hit the sheets, do the nasty, and then do the nasty a lot more times.
Perry purports in the prerelease press that the film is about “restlessness” and the ability to be “tempted”. Frankly, I thought it was about how often you have to change the sheets with so many different men’s wet spots on your sheets. It also probably doesn’t help that the supporting cast comprises one Ms. Kim Kardashian, cast as a lady friend named Ava, who offers more relationship advice than Dr. Phil.
Now if that ain’t acting, I don’t know what is.
