A truly great movie--you need to see this if you are struggling with a disability.

I work in a cinema, so when The Kings Speech was on, the place was packed! We had to get people to evacuate the cinema through the fire exits because there were so many people trying to get in. But, as horrible as it it was ushering at this film, boy, what an awesome film. I'm mostly surprised by how funny it was! This was the only time in my life when I actually gave a crap about anyone in the royal family (well, okay, I have respect for Princess Diana as well, but that's about it). It's a perfect example of how good writing and good execution can make any subject matter appeal to anybody.

I don't think Americans appreciate what the Royals mean to the British. We are products of a democratically governed Republic. Monarchy is definitely not our Thing.
