A rare movie that lives up to the hype. Best picture, actor and director and very deserving of all of them. I say A

Rating: 9/10 (20 April 2011)

Even Kings need help sometimes. This is the true story about King George VI (Firth) and his problems with dealing with a stutter. After many failed attempts with therapists his wife enlists Lionel Logue (Rush) to help him overcome it. After Hitler begins to rise, England looks to King George for support. The stuttering king works to overcome it in order to lead his country. Knowing that this movie won Best Picture at this years Oscars there is a certain expectation going in. This movie does not disappoint and is a very deserving winner of the award. Colin Firth (who won the Oscar for this movie) does an amazing job, and much like Christian Bale in "The Fighter", without Firth this would not be half as good. After all the talk and hype most movies disappoint when you finally watch them (especially when you are one of the last ones to see it). This is one of the few exceptions, it is as good or better then you have heard. For a movie about speech therapy it moves pretty quick and is very entertaining to watch. This is one not to be missed. Movie and acting are both great. I give it an A.
Would I watch again? - Definitely, I would. This is one to buy.
