The mercurial, incredibly talented, and wildly chaotic James Brown gets the biopic treatment with Tate Taylor’s Get On Up!, which depicts a troublingly sanitized version of the musical superstar. Featuring perhaps the greatest framing device in the history of the genre (an office park, a rifle, a life coaching seminar, and a woman who used the wrong toilet), Get On Up! keeps us on our toes with its wild timeline-bending storytelling and features unsurprisingly brilliant performances from its murder’s row of talented actors, led by the late, great Chadwick Boseman as James Brown.
Also explored are questions about whether Frankie Avalon was a tool, James Brown’s dedication to his tracksuit, James Brown’s connection to Mitt Romney, and how many times we’re going to have to experience the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King.
Get On Up stars Chadwick Boseman as James Brown, Nelsan Ellis as Bobby Byrd, Viola Davis as Susie Brown, Dan Ackroyd as Ben Bart, Jill Scott as DeeDee Brown, Octavia Spencer as Aunt Honey, Craig Robinson as Maceo Parker, and Brandon Mychal Smith as Little Richard.
Spoiler Warning: We spoil everything. And we enjoy it.
