fake british accent


was i the only one who thought that chris carmack's british accent was TOTALLY fake-sounding?

reply

I hated it. It's like it came out of nowhere! His character just comes into the scene and starts blabbing on about I don't know what, and I'm just there wondering what on Earth he just said!

reply

oh wait, nvm. i didn't realize he was supposed to really be american! my bad!

In the beginning of the movie when he appeared I thought "really? Chris Carmack with a british accent? who casted this guy for the role?" but as the story progresses you realize why there is a dissonance there and then the dissonance is gone.:)

reply

Haha, you definitely weren't alone! When he started talking, I was thinking, "Wow, you MUST be joking. That sounds terrible."

Later in the movie though when he said he was in London, that's when I knew he was a total fake. And sure enough, we know how that turned out ;)

reply

Completely fake sounding!

I live in the UK and I've never heard anyone talk like that!

reply

Yeah! Same here! No one speaks like that. I thought he was trying to do a fake australian accent and when I heard British-I thought-What?! No way!

reply

Well that was kinda the point though, the character was faking a british accent haha

reply

Its NOT a British accent its AUSTRALIAN!!! and being Australian I must say he's not the worst I've heard.

When she said "London, home of Liam" (or whatever), I was like "I thought he was supposed to have an Australian accent". I'm American, but have spent time in QLD & WA and can generally identify Aussie accents (or accents that are supposed to resemble them, at least).

Not that I'm surprised that a movie of this calibre would be a bit... stupid? about accents.

She says in the film he's British - so I'm gathering it's supposed to be British - though I glad to read it's supposed to be fake - it is one of the worse I've heard, I'm British and no one speaks like that here - and we have plenty of different accents in Britain.

reply

No you are not the only one. I just yelled at the tv.

reply

The whole movie is stupid and for fake people.. and you suck!

reply

His accent was awful.. thank goodness it was supposed to be fake. Not sure why she couldn't hear through it.

reply

I actually thought that was a decent British accent, much better than the film warranted.

Its that man again!!

reply

I live in England and I thought it sounded more Aussie too lol. It was kinda like some weird hybrid and not very good.

real human being and a real hero
