The King's Speech is an excellent movie about Prince Albert (Colin Firth) who had to become King George the VI after his brother gives up the throne to marry a divorced american. The problem is that the prince is a stutterer so he is required to give speeches to crowds and an radio. Enter Geoffrey Rush as his speech therapist and ultimately his best friend. Funny and interesting throughout the movie. Not stuffy or boring considering the subject matter. Doesn't need to be seen on the big screen but well worth the money. Helena Bonham who usually plays very strange characters does an excellent job playing the prince's very smart and practical wife. I can imagine a lot of Oscar nominations from this film.
