And I regrettably am unable to recommend it. My perspective... I had planned to go and see this movie, despite the promise I made to "Mrs. Earthjuice," given the amount of money we spend in the Davis household each month for various Satellite TV services, therefore making it fiscally irresponsible to "go to the movies," yall convinced me that I should go see it. And I am glad that I did. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to tell you to save your hard earned money. This flick is really just a poorly written stock hollywood "buddy movie," that "talks loud and says nothing." First let me state for the record that I thought Chadwick Boseman is best damn James Brown imitator I have ever seen (and I have seen a LOT of them!) He should win as many acting awards as the white man (and the "knee-gro elite") wants to give him. Highly entertaining!!! Someone should probably build a one man play on Broadway around this talented brotha. However his great performance is wasted, next to the disgrace that this movie is to the legacy of James Brown. Everyone here should go to the link below to the article called "THE WHITEWASHING OF JAMES BROWN ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/gregory-allen-howard/whitewashing-of-james-brown_b_5638130.html ) After reading that article and also seeing the movie, the movie leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. James Brown isn't really "whitewashed" in the movie, but he is marginalized, because the power of his truth is not told! (It's difficult for me to recommend a movie that MISSES THE WHOLE POINT about James Brown) The story, while it deals with many of the known facts about the life of James Brown, really misses the three main reasons why I would want to see a movie about James Brown. 1. After Dr. King & Barrack Obama, James Brown was the most influential Black American of the past 50 years - Tell the story of how James Brown was the most influential Black man in the country, after the death of Dr. King, completely against all possible odds, especially with the "knee-gro elite" hating him so much, because he spoke directly to the folks that the "knee-gro elite" had their feet on the neck of. Show me how because of his influence, the United States government took him down, destroyed his businesses, stripped him of his communications empire, humiliated him, etc. Hell, show me James Brown in Africa transforming crowds of hundreds of thousands of people. He quite literally changed life in the United States, for all of its citizens. The movie completely ignores this. 2. Tell me the story of how James Bro...
