England's Prince Albert (Colin Firth) must ascend the throne as King George VI, but he has a speech impediment. Knowing that the country needs her husband to be able to communicate effectively, Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter) hires Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush), an Australian actor and speech therapist, to help him overcome his stammer. An extraordinary friendship develops between the two men, as Logue uses unconventional means to teach the monarch how to speak with confidence.

What an excellent movie!
I would have enjoyed it much more however, if I did not have to hear screaming kids in the lobby and have shafts of light beaming into the theater every time someone went in or out during the show.
Colin Firth will surely win the Acedemy Award for this excellent portrayal. The movie was perfection, perhaps I will go to see it again, but NOT on a Sunday afternoon!
