Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor (2013)
Are you serious?
First off the stupid French accent that Vanessa Williams' character has is uncalled for. It was distracting from the beginning of the movie and toward the end we find out that she was just faking it. Why put it in the movie? Some things that I don't understand besides the accent. Why was Kim K in the movie? She was expressionless except when Judith asked her for the makeover. Brandy's character and the subplot was pointless.
Some reviewers who gave it a plus mention that Julie was tired of her mundane relationship. Where in the movie do you get that? She was content with her relationship until Harley said that sex should be random... then she made an ass of herself while trying to get Bryce to have sex with her in the kitchen. WTF was that anyway? Julie is a hard-working, educated woman who wants to be a marriage councilor. She doesn't appear to be easily influence until she has sex with Harley and starts taking drugs. Really? Who's life experience did you pull this from? She went from this goal oriented woman who loves her husband to a cracked out drunk woman who's willing to give up everything for some good sex? She was upset with Bryce because he forgot her birthday for the second time in a row. That's supposed to encourage someone to cheat? Anyway, he made it up to her at the end of the night and she forgave him... but apparently not.
Harley is an intelligent business man who is looking to invest in the company Julie works for, right? He was also passionate about her and trying to help her out. How did he turn into this drug abusing, woman beater while still remaining successful? If Tyler Perry's movies are to teach a lesson then the story should be at least believable.
Both Julie and Harley turn into these extreme doped up characters... it makes no sense. If Harley was the only one who changed then I would understand but both characters just did this 180 in the space of 2 minutes. It's like the script was written by two people who wanted their own way.
Harley is suppose to be stalking Brandy's character, right? How the hell does he find time to be a stalker and be successful in business? After Harley has sex with Julie for the first time she tells him that she never wants to see him again. In the next few scenes she takes a call from Harley and asks him why he hasn't called her and why is he ignoring her. Did the editor skip an important piece of the story here? When did she change her mind? Bryce goes to "rescue" his wife who's doped up and drunk at the club. They both come out and start talking... Julie tells him some crap about getting Bryce some counseling... Isn't Julie the one who needs counseling? I'm going to stop here because this movie was just confusing and poorly written.
Tyler Perry failed miserably on this one too.

Are they serious?
Whoever wrote the script for this movie does not deserve to work in Hollywood at all (not even live there), and those actors need to find another job. The most dreadful hour and some minutes of my life... and I only kept watching to see if it would get better which, unfortunately for me it did not.
Even at the end, the credits gave me anxiety. I guess there weren't a lot of people behind the movie so they had to roll the credits slowly... very slowly.
This movie is definitely a great "How Not To Make a Movie" guide. Too bad I can't give a 0.
