Now that I've got my introduction for this movie review out of the way, I'm going to head in a direction that's not typical of a Steve and J TV movie review. I hope I am able to get my message across loud and clear and just in case you are a bit slow I'll bullet-point it to make it more concise:
- If you never had the opportunity to watch James Brown perform live watch this movie!
- If you are a music aficionado and love all things Funky Drummer and breakbeats, watch this movie!
- If you like movies that make you clap, cheer, dance and clap again watch this movie!
- If you like movies that make you clap, cheer and dance several times throughout the movie, watch this movie!
- If you love watching actors completely immerse themselves in a role to the point where you no longer realize you are watching an actor and swear it's the real person on screen, watch this movie!
- If you love watching exciting dance moves...watch this movie!
- If you never knew just how influential James Brown was in American culture, watch this movie!
- If you have soul, watch this movie!
- If you are alive and have an ounce of funk in your body, watch this movie!

Get on Up chronicles the life of the Augusta, Georgia native as he rises from his backwoods upbringing to his role as a cultural icon. Along the way, moviegoers are given a front-row seat to a recreation of James Brown's life that magically unfolds on screen as he overcomes personal adversity, embraces his place in politics and lays down a soundtrack for the civil rights movement while giving birth to funk!
Now that I've made it this far with my review, I realize that I've watched the same James Brown Youtube clip three times just watch him glide out on stage. As I'm watching it, I have to remind myself that I'm not watching Boseman - it's actually James now!
- If you are searching for reviews before you make your decision to invest in watching Get on UP, go watch this movie!
Final Thoughts:
- "Good God!!!"
- "I got that feelin...baby baby, I got that feelin"
- I was on the edge of my seat hoping for a young Michael Jackson reference...
- Though it was only brief...Richard Wayne Penniman was fun to watch as well!
