Get On Up

In his follow-up to the four-time Academy Award-nominated blockbuster The Help, Tate Taylor directs 42's Chadwick Boseman as James Brown in Get on Up.  Based on the incredible life story of the Godfather of Soul, the film will give a fearless look inside the music, moves and moods of Brown, taking audiences on the journey from his impoverished childhood to his evolution into one of the most influential figures of the 20th century.

This was a good and entertaining biographical movie.  There were a lot more laughs than I expected.  Chadwick Boseman is once again lights out playing a legendary figure.  The back and forth in James Brown's timeline was frustrating at first but it grew on me and they did a great job of portraying James Brown and showing where he came from.  And needless to say - the music was great.  

I would recommend people checking this out.  It's not a must see by any means.  But it's definitely a good and entertaining watch.
