Hard to listen to as well as watch


As a Philly resident (okay, suburb resident) the accents are so far off from how people speak here that it's painful...in a stick an awl in my ear and pour acid down it kind of way. Even though a NYC accent is blindingly different from a Philly accent, even that would have been bearable compared to the actors they chose. "We'll make a movie about Philly residents and cast home-grown Canadian actors for it." Why don't you pick actors from New Orleans or from Minnesota while you're at it? Or maybe a bunch of Brits? The stupid audience would NEVER notice.

Painful. Just painful.
