The King's Speech is a must-see movie, although, I'll have to admit that I did not expect it to be for whatever reason. It turned out to be a captivating look at the reluctance of King George VI to take the throne due to a speech impediment and fear of public speaking. During this personal yet quite public ordeal, a special connection is developed between the soon-to-be king and his quirky speech therapist. I can not do the film justice, so check out reviews at Metacritic and the trailer below.
Here are a few more links about the movie...

The King's Speech is not a movie that has to be seen in the theater. Personally, I would enjoy this movie just as much (if not more) in my living room paying only a dollar to rent it from redbox. However, a copy may be hard to by as it should be in high demand.
