Wow! What a movie. It was just as powerful as the amazing voice of Aretha Franklin. I loved it. Anyone and everyone should see this biography of a legend.
This is one of the movies that comes out and captures your attention instantly. By the time the movie was over, I had a list of things that I wanted to go look up and learn more about. My only slight complaint is I wish they would have gone into more detail on a few things. I feel like they kind of glossed over some of the more personal things. Adding another twenty minutes would have been wonderful. I still loved it though, I was easily able to find out about the glossed over parts. I’m being entirely honest here, I looked up my questions as soon as I got into my car and then jammed out to her greatest hits on my way home.

Jennifer Hudson was glamorous, beautiful, and perfect for the part. I read that Aretha Franklin hand-picked her for the role. She nailed that decision. This film will gain Miss Hudson even more Respect. She truly did an amazing job.
Great movie, awesome music, and a wonderful addition to the biographic films out there that touch our hearts.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Best app ever!
RunPee is the only app we use before movies and afterward. not only does RunPee tell you when it’s a good time to leave the theater, kids these days ask if there’s anything during/after the credits, and RunPee lets parents know when there might be some thing that a kid might miss!
RunPee has tidbits, ratings, leave the theater times, and lengths. This is THE VITAL APP for watching any movie!
We used it when my wife was pregnant, and we have recommended it to every pregnant gal we know! How else can you enjoy a movie when you have to go out so often?!

About The Peetimes: I submitted 3 Peetimes for you to choose from. This was a powerful movie from the beginning to the end, talk about a hard movie to do. Hopefully, you won’t need to get up but try one of these 3 Peetimes if you do.
There are extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Respect. (What we mean by Anything Extra.)

RunPee.com owes RunPee Sis a huge debt of gratitude. She sees any movie needed with no complaints and has done so for ten years (even basing Thanksgiving and Christmas family festivities around the seeing films). In 2015 Sis ran the entire RunPee enterprise herself, while RunPee Dan, Jilly and Mom went traipsing off to Europe. Sis is the spider in the web holding the RunPee family together — besides being a funny, well rounded person, and a joyous pleasure to be around. Her favorite films start and end with horror (which thank goodness she’s happy to see, since most of us don’t have the stomach for it) — but also likes silly comedies, sad dramas, and musicals of all types. If you’ve used a Peetime for a scary film, you probably have RunPee Sis to thank for it.
Favorite movie genre: Horror, horror, and more horror. The more disturbing, the better. Period.
