This is a movie I wouldn't typically go see but after all of the nominations and attention it's gotten, I was intrigued. Luckily, so was Whitney. Since Friday night was nasty and cold, we opted for pizza, beer and Cinebarre (don't worry, we more than made up for this on Saturday night). The movie is based on the true story of how King George VI of Britain (Colin Firth) overcame his stammer by working with a speech therapist (Geoffrey Rush) to deliver the radio broadcast at the beginning of World War II. The relationship formed between the King and the therapist is very endearing and full of humor and wit. I really, really enjoyed this movie and I'm looking forward to seeing how it stacks up against the competition at the Academy Awards.
