Review: The Fighting Temptations
If your brother has free, almost expiring, tickets for this MTV production, there’s no polite way to say no. Knowing from previous MTV productions, you shouldn’t expect anything too much from this. With that mindset, the experience is not that bad. If you leave out the silly story, ignore the dialogue, and only watch the beautiful Beyonce act quite mediocre, all that’s left is a long video clip with mostly gospellish music mixed with some R&B and rap. The music is in the experienced hands of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and as a result, it’s not half that bad. I guess gospel really makes people happy then, because though the movie kinda fails, the music will keep the grade high.6½.
