Whilst issues with exposition and pacing threaten to deflate Get on Up, captivating performances and electrifying music set-pieces manage to pump up the funk.

One Room With A View
Boseman's nuanced performance hints at a transformation from cocky extrovert into a shark-like businessman who's as much a performer offstage as on it.
Sight and Sound
The best thing the movie has going for it is Chadwick Boseman's live-wire channeling of Brown. With his gravity-defying pompadour, raspy jive patter, and quicksilver shimmy-slide dance steps, the 42 star sweats through a two-hour funk workout…
Entertainment Weekly
Many of Brown's most celebrated appearances are re-created in all their funk and glory…
Wall Street Journal
[GET ON UP] thrillingly captures the frenzy of Brown’s music, and the forces driving that frenzy, both musical and personal.
New York Times
Rating: 4/5 --
[T]his show ultimately belongs to [Chadwick] Boseman. He captures the groove, soul and even [James] Brown's incompressible speech and his performance is electric.

Flick Feast
Rating: 2/5 --
The music gives you some big, sugar-rush moments, but it's a disappointing response to one of pop culture's most brilliant and complicated figures.

Product Description:
Chadwick Boseman stars as James Brown in this biopic from Universal Studios and director Tate Taylor (THE HELP). From a childhood spent in poverty to his emergence as the Godfather of Soul, Brown's incredible life story is one of talent, determination, and perseverance. Brian Grazer, Mick Jagger, Victoria Pearman, and Erica Huggins produce a film co-penned in part by Jez and John-Henry Butterworth (FAIR GAME).
