That's got to win hands down. It was so bad that it was almost intelligible.

Honorable mention goes to another god awful attempt at a southern accent....Brenda Blethyn in "Sonny."

Why can't Yankees and Brits get our accents right?

This is definitely the answer. Pretty crappy when everybody else in the movie at least gave it a shot, made his performance that much worse.


What? No they didn't. Everyone in the film kept their native accent. There were a few German actors who kept their German accents but actors such as Bill Nighy, Eddie Izzard, Tom Wilkinson, Kenneth Branagh, etc. kept their native English accents.

Tom Cruise was the only American in that movie and thus his accent stuck out more than the others.

Agree with Keanu and Cage's accents, he ruined the Dracula movie within the first five minutes. Can't leave out Charlize (though hawt & nakerd) in Advocate as well.

...and I gotta ask...Who..the F#%KING F#%K is coaching these millionaire actors up on their southern accents? It's almost like their inner mantra is "just talk like you're stupid". it's just really insulting to hear this out of A-Listers after living in the south and hearing actual people talk for years.
