Temptation happens when the opportunity is presented to do what we know is wrong, whether against God, ourselves, or others. Being tempted is not wrong - it's the decision to do wrong and the corresponding action that follows. Sometimes we can confuse temptation with God's testing of our hearts, but temptation and God's testing are very different.
Most of the time, though, what we're experiencing is both! God's testing presents the opportunity to do that which would please Him.

When we are sorely tempted, it may not seem that there is a way out, but the God who made us knows what we can endure and bear, and it is He who provides a way of escape.

The movie is a real sloppy job. You can't just blame the script for this but also the filmmakers involved. Yes, it's a real mess of a movie at times, that too often takes the easy simple road. But yet the movie still works good thanks to its music.
