Replete with clashing egos and personal tragedies, the rise and fall of Motown's Temptations entailed enough drama to pack a weeklong miniseries. Alas, this popular two-nighter shown last fall on NBC skimps on too many juicy details. In The Temptations a charismatic cast convincingly dances and lip-synchs to the Temps' greatest hits, but too much of the real-life blues behind that sweet soul music is left to the imagination. C+
