Review of Get On Up (2014) by Hayley C — 31 Jul 2014

Director Tate Taylor chose a somewhat odd, "stream of consciousness" narrative structure that CAN be a little distracting. That said, Chadwick Boseman is AMAZING as James Brown and Nelsan Ellis matches Boseman playing Brown's lifelong friend and bandmate.

Dan Aykroyd is solid as Brown's promoter. There is an early "sort of" dis of the Rolling Stones, amusing in light of the fact that Mick Jagger is a credited producer and Executive Music Producer.
