The Kings Speech

Prince Albert stammers.  Embarrassed by his speech impediment, made only more noticeable by the new medium of radio, he seeks out a speech therapist.

Based on the true story of King George VI, Colin Firth is perfect in the role.  I love these British docu-dramas.  I would rank this right up there with the Queen and expect to hear just as much Oscar buzz about it.

Geoffrey Rush plays the therapist and is so fun to watch.  The dialogue and friendship between the King and his doctor is what really sets this apart from a simple story about a stutter.

**** Oscar Worthy


Rated R (for language)
