Tyler Perry's Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Opting to make an adult version scared straight instead of a thoughtful, provocative piece on marriage, Perry hopes to frighten couples to stay together with his latest drama.

Perry's movies have become so thematically grandiose, visually incoherent, and self-defensively bourgeois that the only way to receive them lately is as a cynic.

Straitlaced and sermonizing, this is a sluggish cautionary tale about deviating from righteous church teachings.

Smollett-Bell, Gross, and Brandy work hard to bring an emotional authenticity to their characters and relationships--an authenticity that is ultimately negated by questionable choices in Perry's script and direction.

Perry has now built a media empire from spinning his own wheels.
