Synopsis

The strain of juggling her responsibilities as wife, mother, and successful paralegal have worn Emma Burke out. Thus it is that Emma welcomes the opportunity to briefly take leave of her Boston home and head for sunny Hawaii. It is not, however, a pleasure trip: Having promised to honor the dying wishes of her Hawaiian-born surrogate mother. Leaving her husband, Mike, behind to care for their two children, Emma arrives in Hawaii for the first time since childhood, where she is reunited with her childhood friend Kala, the handsome son of her late surrogate parent.

michaelad His character's age was a bit off to have a 15 year old, but overall, because of his stature and deep voice the audience can be easily fooled. Otherwise, I loved it, although kind of half expected more between them,, so I guess I really loved it for the mystery factor, not knowing what if anything would happen between them, perhaps if her family had not arrived on the island......who knows. This was one of the first times watching Jason Momoa, and cannot for the life of me figure out why he hasn't already become a block buster "leading man" as he has such presence and and fantastic personality. Alright Jason, you are getting there and you were good in Justice League and I cannot wait for Aquaman to come out. Still thing you should be a leading man. See ya at the boxoffice.
cristina-trsl Despite the beautiful setting, despite gorgeous Jason Momoa being in it, this film was basically a total waste of resources and the world could have done just fine without it. Virginia Madsen did a horrible job with her role, it seemed like she was sleepwalking through the whole film, delivering lines as if she was reading them for the first time, no expression on her face, no feelings, no nothing. The scene where she argues with her daughter has the most ridiculous dialogue, with Emma delivering lines you would expect from a child, not a mother. And her acting was also like she was playing a spoiled brat. You would expect Emma to have a more passionate reaction to a man looking like Kala, but he didn't seem to do much for her. And why a guy like that would have been interested in her, I can't say. Assuming he's a deep, mature guy, who's not going for looks, it still doesn't make sense, as her character seems very shallow and childish. Finally, why they would call "Tempted" a film that focuses so little on the temptation/affair part (not even one hot or sexy scene) is beyond me. If that was the main plot, I couldn't tell. Emma finding her real mother and the efforts to save the Hawaiian family's lands seemed just as important, and all three were treated shallowly. It's a shame that the actors who possessed some talent were given such a bad script and such bland lines, but I think the main problem was with the lead actress. Overall, a very bad film.
salomecaillot HI everybody, I've just seen the movie Tempted here in France and well,I think it was a nice movie to see in the afternoon when you don't want to think about your studies :p !there's something I'd like to ask you:Durind the movie we can hear a very nice song, and I'd really like to now its title, and who's the man who sings it! It's quite famous, I've already heard it many times... but I just can't remember its name ! If someone could help me, it would be very very great ! thank you very much !
mizmekia I've seen the movie and I absolutely loved it. The chemistry between Jason and Virginia was amazing. The friction between Lainie and Virginia was intense and interesting. The writing was very well done and the setting was unbelievably beautiful. I can honestly say that would've been an extremely hard choice to make,especially with Jason Momoa being my alternative. Don't get me wrong,I'm all for the sanctity of marriage, but to escape an unfulfilled life with a disrespectful, brat of a daughter and end up in paradise with the hottest Hawaiian on the island. That might make a woman stop and reconsider her options. I think this is one of lifetime's greatest movies yet.
