"Get on Up", the story of James Brown.
I have mixed views on this adaptation. It doesn't break any new ground on biopics, but it does throw in some nice juxtaposition and 'fourth wall' into the mix periodically, as a nice touch. The odd thing about this piece is that it skates over Brown's mega egotistical personality in such a way that you barely realise its magnitude!
Whilst the supporting cast is okay(Jill Scott is large, but smokin' HOT!), Chadwick Boseman's re-enactment of James Brown's stage performance is electrifying! You almost feel like you're watching the man himself!
The other bonus is if you're a fan of funk and soul, you will find yourself swaying to the old classics.
The end result is you will have seen better and worse bios.

Cheers for that heads up - the first few minutes of that film - wow. Just been to see night at the museum- very very average - not funny or much of a story line - good effects though 5/10 - not a patch on paddington

I would have been like that poor kid who couldn't move. I don't even leave base when I go paint balling!
