I heard about this movie a few weeks ago and there have nothing but good reviews for it. I didn't think a movie about a king with a speech impediment would be that great, but I would proved wrong.
Based in the 1930's (right before WWII), King George V passes away and his son Edward is next in line to be king. However, Edward is in love with a divorced woman from Scotland, but it is rule in the royalty that you can not marry a divorced woman, so Edward steps down as King, leaving it to his younger brother, George the VI (played by Colin Firth). One major issue is that George VI has a stammer and needs to overcome it. He begins to work with a speech therapist named Lionel Louge (played by Geoffrey Rush).
This movie is a great combination of drama and British comedy and I can see where all the good feedback and nominations for awards are coming from!
