Tommy's 'accent'


so i'm not sure if i'm the only person this annoyed... but whatever his accent was supposed to be annoyed the crap outta me! it was like partial foreign partial jersey partial nyc...




~i really dont understand why imdb users insist on writing on every board of movies they dont like~

It's not supposed to be anything. That's the way he talks naturally, he's from Boston.

lol Jersey :/

I just watched the movie and I cam on IMDB because I thought I spotted an Aussie/S. African twang on some of his word pronunciations. Alas, I found he was from Boston...thought I would be interested to find out if one of his parents are from the southern hemisphere....there's definite Aussie/S.African vibes if you ask me...

reading the comments on this board about his accent made me laugh! im from boston and its so funny that i dont hear anything different in his speech from mine. its funny how other people hear it :)

I'm from Australia and he does not have Australian accent at all !

reply

The other Aussie says no way. I agree with you though. I could hear in some words an Aussie sound. Which made me check him out thinking maybe he was an Aussie trying an American accent and sometimes slipping. Didn't sound 100% completely American to me either and I watch American tv and have been to America few times including Boston. I know this is an old post but I just watched the movie

Black Balloon don't ever visit Boston if you did not like Tommy's accent. You would have a heart attack in the middle of the street.

I realize this thread is from 2009, but I just saw this movie on Netflix and I thought from the first word he said with an "r" in it that he was from Boston.
