    Pretty much sums it up, no sub plots, interesting characters or twists, just as you say, man stammers, man overcomes stammer.

    Incredible yawnfest!
    You obviously missed its real meaning.

        It also gave a revealing glimpse into the trials and tribulations of being a Royal, though again somewhat twisted.
        Both Lionel Logue and King George VI were Freemasons a fact that the film fails to mention. In fact King George VI attributed his Lodge work with helping to overcome his stammer.

        Just thought I'd let you chaps have that snippet of information.

          Listen up pooch, never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

          Look at Braveheart for instance.

                Granted, she's saucy, and has aged very well (on screen), but you can't seriously say you'd sit through two hours of "A Room with a view" just for a glimpse of HBC?

                  I would, and I have - I quite like those Merchant Ivory films, if I'm in the right mood.

                  Can't always be watching car chases and explosions.
