Production[]

The principal photography for the film began on October 26, 2011. It was supposed to be released in 2012, but it was pushed back to be released in March of 2013.

According to initial reports about the film's cast, actor Jerry Stiller was supposed to have a unspecified role in the film, but it was later proven to be false.

While filming a scene between Judith and Brice, Lance Gross slammed the door of the truck so hard, the window shattered.

Box Office[]

"Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor" debuted at #3 at the box office, grossing $21,641,679 during its opening weekend (behind films G.I. Joe: Retaliation and The Croods). In total, it grossed $53,125,354.

Critical Reception[]

"Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor" wasn't screened for critics and was given negative reviews.

Rotten Tomatoes gives a score of 15% based on 33 reviews.

At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the film has received an average score of 27%, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".

Many viewers pointed to the fact that the main character was "punished" with HIV for cheating on her husband, further miseducating and stigmatizing the disease.

Marjorie Baumgarten from the Austin Chronicle said, "Apart from its dramatic predictability, Temptation is a snooze because of its languid pacing and rudimentary camerawork."

Roger Ebert called it "flat-out ludicrous from beginning to end."

Entertainment Weekly wrote: "A few wild, third-act twists give Perry's middling melodrama some soap-opera kick. But all the finger-wagging sure does get tiring after a while."

The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "Onscreen, it somehow manages to be at once wildly overblown and terminally boring."
