This movie kept my attention, There are a lot of Jason Momoa fans out there, I'm not one of them and I'm not familiar with this work, but I can see why the ladies love him so much. I am a fan of Virginia Madsen and her brother Michael, it is nice to see her in a semi romantic part, she had the worst husband and children on the planet! Ungrateful, useless and whiny. No way I would have stayed with the husband she had, he couldn't even let her enjoy her time in Hawaii without him flying himself and the kids out there! And before that calling her to handle mess he should have been dealing with as a father. Leave her be, give her her time and let her come home in peace , not take that garbage there. I would have definitely chosen the handsome guy on the island to stay with. Her husband only confessed his love for her when she admitted she almost, almost fell for someone else who made her feel loved and alive. She deserved better! She was a lot more loyal to her family then they were to her. I would have never left a man behind on that island that loved me as much as kalai loved her.!
I did not think it was awful, it was not one of the better Lifetime movies, I agree with that. Just looking at Jason Mamoa made it all worthwhile(He is better looking than: Matthew Mcanahay(I know it is spelled wrong),Brad Pitt, Val Kilmer and Keanu Reeves put together.He is SOOOOOOOOOO SEXY.Let me also add Patrick Swayze and SLy to that list, I also enjoyed seeing the chic that was the main character in CANDYMAN play a romantic part.Are there any other movies that he is in worth watching?Please let me know he is an angel to look at.I know he was the bomb in Baywatch.I wanted to see some sex scenes.Dang...Maybe next time ladies!
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 !

I hated this movie! Don't know why I even finished watching it. Oh, yeah, I remember...Jason Momoa was nice to look at.
It moved slowly. Stupid story. Bad acting. Way too sappy. I didn't feel any compassion or connection to any of the characters except maybe Kala (Jason Momoa). A dumb too-easy ending.
I had a big prob with the age discrepancy. Momoa & Madsen are actually 24 & 40. However, Momoa's character Kala has a 15 yo son who lives with his ex-wife! I think that would be biologically impossible. Ok, he actually looks older than 24 and his character behaved more maturely than Emma (Madsen). The character he played must have been much older than the actor really is, but IMHO not much older than 30. That would mean he had his son at 15. Ok, that's biologically possible, but married, too, at that age?
This movie was suppose to be about a married woman being tempted by a younger man. Jason Momoa is very sexy and sensual. Who wouldn't be tempted? So where were the hot, steamy love scenes??? There was some kissing, but I never felt any heat between them. Besides Jason Momoa, the only other thing good about this movie was the beautiful Hawaiian location.
I rate it 2 out of 10.

There are several beautiful things about this movie. The beautiful scenery of Hawaii or Maui, whatever, and the looks of Jason Mamoa. Both worth watching. Mamoa is fetching in his scenes without his shirt, running along the beach. Quite a fantasy. Or in the deep blue waters of the cave. However not too much else happens in this older married woman and younger lover theme. Virginia Madsen, that Sharon Stone wannabe, is just awful, in this. No chemistry, not even sexual for the young man. In fact their love scenes fell flat. Too controlled. Lainie Kazan doesn't sing a note in this. Too bad. She's a super singer lady and plays a grandmother on the island. For a Jewish mama she seemed to play the role all right. But, I'd rather hear Lainie sing a torch song. However, there is the beauty and distinguished Vietnamese actress Kieu Chinh in the film. She brings simplicity and class to this picture. So 3 stars for Hawaii, Kieu and Mamoa.
