The trailer looked interesting. The story was riveting. Colin Firth and Geoffery Rush were superb. For a non-stutterer (Colin) to portray a future king with a very bad stutter shows just how good an actor he is. This is his finest movie to date. He deserves the Oscar. I usually watch comedies, especially animation, so seeing a drama is out of my normal viewing habits, although I enjoy seeing anything about the British royalty. This movie blew me away.
I LOVE Vince Vaughn movies, but this one is worth waiting for the rental to come out. When it does I'll watch it again with my hubby. It'll still be funny a second time. But not worth the $8 to view in a theatre or to buy the DVD.
