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.

MOVIE REVIEW

Ugh, another biopic about a musician. Get On Up depicts the life of James Brown, a musical genius who was also an asshole. Thanks to a bland screenplay and overly artsy directing by Tate Taylor, Get On Up is overly long, tedious and not particularly fun to watch.
