Anyone else seen it yet? I liked it...

Just as George is about to light up...

Lionel: Please don't do that...
King George VI: Im sorry?
Lionel: I believe sucking smoke into your lungs will kill you
King George VI: My physicians say it relaxes my throat
Lionel: They're idiots
King George VI: They've all been knighted
Lionel: Makes it official then

You've ruined the WHOLE movie for me now?

Seriously though, was it really really good? I do fancy watching it.

I haven't been to the cinema for ages but I think I'll go to see this one.
Even if the script is rubbish, I'll be able to look at that nice Mr Firth.

Re the joke in the OP:
When I saw the film, the last line got a lot of laughs, but I couldn't help wondering how many of the audience got the hidden reference there...
(For those who don't know: George VI had lung cancer in his later years, and it was a major contributory factor in his death.)

As for the film itself: yes, I thought it was very good and would recommend it to anyone. Although Firth's getting all the praise, the whole cast are great: I thought Michael Gambon as George V and Guy Pearce as Edward VIII were both surprisingly strong...
