Title: WELL WORTH A WATCH
Review: The intimate look at the life of stuttering prince who soon finds himself the future King of England after his older brother, Edward VIII, abdicates the throne for an American divorcee. Edward was the only monarch to abdicate the throne since the time of the Anglo-Saxons. In other words a long time ago. The quality of this picture is amped up by the quality actors, including the supporting cast. Colin Firth won the Oscar for his portrayal of Prince Albert (Bertie) who lated would become George VI, whose eldest daughter, Elizabeth, would take the throne as Elizabeth II. Nice touches on the prince's ailment and very nice interplay between Firth and Rush with a focus on the intimate life of the prince. This picture was nominated for 11 AAs and won 4, most notably Best Picture. STORY/PLOTTING: B plus; CHARACTER/DIALOGUE: B plus to A minus; EVOKING THE ERA: B plus; MY GRADE: B plus; WHEN WATCHED: end of Feb. 2011.
