good acting but a boring story

Rating: 7/10 (12 January 2012)

This movie was OK, but I certainly would not have given it any awards for best movie. But I do think Colin Firth and Geoferry Rush deserved acting awards. I'm surprised Rush didn't win the awards too instead of just being nominated. I just don't get why a movie about a guy getting coached by an actor to learn to speak better is such a great idea. The movie was more like a TV movie because such little happened.
I mean, the exciting scene of the film is when Bertie starts cursing while practicing his speech. Then the dramatic last scene is Bertie and his coach in a room reading a speech. Can the excitement please stop!
FINAL VERDICT: It's OK, but I wouldn't recommend it for someone whom loves action films.
