Very biased since it comes from Otis's perspective; would like to have seen more of Eddie & Dennis. Other than that the casting agent did a great job. The actors favor the orginal group and can actually sing. Classic. One of the best mini-series ever... (read more)

I love this movie! Over 2 hours and 45 minutes of Motown goodness! The best male vocal act of all time... Why is it that the best musicians always have major emotional, physical or drug / women abuse struggles in their lives?

Interesting "behind-the-scenes" look at an amazing talent singing group. Lots of info I didn't know. Although some is a bit skewed from fact, most is accurate. (researched it afterwards.) A little long, but a good movie for music fans.

Excellent movie, if you're a big fan of the 5 Heartbeats then you're going to fall in love with The Temptations. Definately shows an accurate look into the world of Motown back in the day and how music groups are made AND destroyed.
