The King's Speech

I've seen this mentioned in other threads, but couldn't find a thread about it.

The film focuses on King George VI (Colin Firth) as he tries to overcome his stutter so that he can speak to his country.

The film has some amazing acting, but I thought that was the main thing it had going for it. I found the story interesting because I was not familiar with the history of the event, but I'm afraid that if I re-watched the film that it might get boring.

Anyone else see it?

I have seen it, and enjoyed it very much. The acting is great, and it's a wonderful snapshot of history. If you have the need for action in films, this movie is going to bore you - but if you appreciate clever dialogue you should definitely see this one.

Just saw this tonight with one of my friends who studied in London with me.

Great film. It's somewhat predictable, but the writing (especially the dialogue) and acting is so well done it doesn't matter.

This movie is so well acted, written, and directed. You know a movie is great when everyone in the theater exhales at the exact same time, which I'm sure I heard happen the other night when we saw it. I laughed, I cried, I felt warm-fuzzies. It was great!
