Review of Get On Up (2014) by Kurt F — 01 May 2016

5/3/16 Unfortunately, there just isn't much of a story here, outside of his horrible upbringing. I was hooked in at the beginning of the film by his childhood upbringing, but then the plot just meanders over time.

There doesn't seem to be much order to the events of his life, and it is a bit more about just trying to fit his songs into the story. Strong start, but it really fizzles out pretty quickly.
