Good for tweens, actually...
I loved this movie! I think a lot more parents should take their kids to see it. Don't be afraid of the R-rating! It was just because of a stream of F-bombs used in a joking matter and any 10 year old should know enough not to use that word!!! It was truly a great movie.

Wonderful, appropriate for older tweens and up
This was the absolute best movie I have seen. The acting was done so well, and it was just so moving and beautiful. The swearing was so inoffensive and funny, they should have made an exception with rating it "R". I would definitely see this again, and I want my 11-year-old sister who has self-confidence issues to see it, too.

Good for Tweens Who Like Humorous Dialogue
I liked it. It had a positive message that the King got over his problem - sometimes things that look impossible can be possible - like a dude who has no qualifications as a speech therapist became one, and was able to help the King get over his problem! And also it had the positive message that you shouldn't smoke. If you need a lot of action, this is not your film. But if you like clever humor and humorous dialogue, you will like this movie.

The King's Tedium
I have to admit, everyone else' review started to have an affect on me, and that's why I'm rating this movie 5 stars. I understood everything in the movie, but I'm glad I fell asleep in the middle, just in time before the excess swearing. I found it to be very boring though. It had great lessons, don't get me wrong. But I found that every couple of minutes or so, I saw characters staring into space (not when the King was trying to give his speech). I know they were reflecting, but if I had a nickel for every time something wasn't happening, I'd be richer than Bill Gates. I encourage all to see this movie, because it will teach many life lessons, but if you're looking for a movie where they're isn't one goal that takes 2 hours to explain, I suggest you move along.

A film fit for a king.
Colin Firth gives the performance of his lifetime in The King's Speech, A uplifting period piece that achieves its dramatic potential.

Movie has great messages, but is filled with profanities.
Really great movie, many profanities throughout however, including one rant where Colin Firth says s**t and f**k dozens of times. While it does have good role models, I would think carefully about letting anyone under 13 watch this.

Witty, Funny, Entertaining, Moving,
One of the best pictures of the year. Excellent cinematography, very entertaining, has some very good messages. It should be PG-13. This movie was rated R because of language (a one-minute scene that's it. There's just one more after that). I think it should also depend on word delivery. The language scene was comedic. It should have been R if they used language to call each other that and be rude to each other. Tied with "The Social Network" and "Inception" as my personal best movie of the year.

Great Movie
This was a really good movie. There was that one scene with the big stream of swear words, but mature 12 year olds and up would know not to go around saying those words all the time. It was an inspiring movie, and I definitely recommend it.

The King's Speech is worth listening too
I heard lots of good things about this movie but it just didn't interest me at all. I then saw it, well, I will say I was pleasantly impressed. This movie has a good message, and overall the story is great, acting is perfect (especially Collin Firth). Some language in it, but great movie.

Could've gone without the f-ks, but still fabulous.
This movie is an all-time favorite of mine. The only complaint I have is the swearing. It's one that I would see in theaters again, and I will definitely be purchasing.

The Best!!!!
The best movie ever!!! Some language but you should let your kid see it anyway. The good messages and role models and the all together greatness of the movie make up for the language.

The King's Speech is the king of movies.
it was educational... It was funny... I mean I am only 14 but this is the best kind of film for me.
Although I think they could have chosen a different actress for Queen Elizabeth.

Great Choice If You Are Looking For A Positive Message
This movie was amazing. There was a great message of over coming fear and stepping out of your shell. Almost all of the characters were positive role models, good people for kids to look up to. The only issue is the language. Just as long as you tell your kids during this movie that it is not okay to use the language that the king uses, I think that this movie would be a great choice for family movie night. Also, my family saw this movie when my little sister was seven, and she was OK.

King's Troubles!
The Movie has a good show of the challenge of overcoming his speech disability. Also it shows how england was at this time. And it shows how a person who has never had friends makes his first and best friend. I think the language was OK due to the fact that he never said it to someone in an offensive way.
