I saw it. I thought it was an okay film. I don't get all the hype about it being OSCAR worthy, though. Colin Firth was asked by one of the TV entertainment shows if he was going to wear a kilt at the OSCAR ceremony (like Mel Gibson and Liam Neesen did in 1996) and he said, it would certainly be ok if he did because the kilt is so "liberating".
