Since he&#8217;s destined to take over the throne after his brother abdicates (his brother has an affair with a divorced woman), George (nicknamed Bertie) has to make public speeches. The only problem is, George has a terrible stutter &#8211; he&#8217;s had this stutter since he was a youngster. He&#8217;s been to several specialists and doctors and none of them can help him with his stutter. His wife finds Lionel, a speech therapist and &#8220;doctor&#8221;. Lionel gets to the heart of Bertie&#8217;s problem &#8211; using psychological means &#8211; stuttering seems to be an emotional problem for Bertie. The working relationship between Bertie and Lionel buds into a true friendship with a few pitfalls along the way.<\/p>\n<p>I thought this movie was good, but not great. This film received lots of acclaim, so, I thought I&#8217;d like it more than I did. It held my interest, but, it&#8217;s not a film that I see myself watching again. The characters were somewhat engaging and you&#8217;ll find yourself sympathizing with Bertie. If you have the time, I&#8217;d recommend watching this film, but, I figure there are probably lots of others out there that I&#8217;d enjoy more than this one.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ceceliadowdy.com\">~Cecelia Dowdy~<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Popcorn photo courtesy of Free Digital Photos.
