The Englishman Who Walked Up A Word and Came Down A Soliloquy

Kingspeak (2011)
Starring: Colin Filth, Geoffroy Rush, Helen Bon-ham Carter
Directed by: Tobe Hooper
Rating: PG-13
Genre: History

Review
Offensive drivel that would have us believe that "the king's english" was a plot invented by Churchill to change the official language of Britain to American. Filth plays an actor with a passing resemblance to His Royal Personage. Rush, as The Stogied Walrus, mocks every elementary school speech pathologist who ever stuck a tongue depressor down a second grader's throat. Stay away - with extreme prejudice!
