He said: I wanted to see this movie because of all the Oscar buzz around it, and I really didn't know what to expect. I'm not a big Collin Firth fan, but I thought he did a great job in this movie. Geoffrey Rush was also outstanding as his speech therapist. The heart of this movie was about the friendship between these 2 men, and the King overcoming his fear. I would recommend this movie for people who enjoy good stories based on true events. I will say, when we saw this movie, my wife and I were the youngest people in the theater. I saw more silver hair in the theater than I did watching the silver back gorillas in "Gorilla's in the Midst". Grade: A-
She said: I have heard so much buzz about this movie that it made me NOT want to see it! But, I'm glad I did. I thought it was really good, and I like Collin Firth. It was moving, and even had some humor in it :) I could actually feel the frustration that the King had. I really enjoyed the relationship part of the movie between the king and his "doctor". But, beware....although it's done in a humorous way, there are some F-bombs and quite a bit of cussing in a few scenes. All around, a great movie. I can see why it's nominated for so many Oscars...and, again, another true story...(seems like a lot of the movies we've seen lately are true stories!)
