wtf accent
I was excited to see this movie until I heard her awful accent. Does she normally talk like that or is it for the movie? Either way I think my ears bled a little :(

Where are they from? I am a 4th generation resident of the town where this takes place (the only reason I was aware of its existence before they put the trailer on the front page of IMDB) and I have never heard that accent before. Makes me wonder if they actually spoke with anyone in town during the filming. I know someone from Minnesota with a pretty strong "midwest" accent and that's the closest I can liken it too, but it's still off. It kind of reminds me of a cross between a stereotypical Minnesotan accent and a stereotpical Boston accent, which now that I think about it is pretty funny.
We have some hood rats here with ghetto accents, and my aunt randomly speaks with a Boston accent, but oh well I just wanted to complain, on IMDB, where everyone seriously considers and respects everyone else's opinions.
That sounds about right lol Boston-Minnesota ha! I'm from eastern Ohio (near Pittsburgh,PA) and we do not sound like that at all.
I think the Minnesota 'call' on the accent is pretty good. She's got the flattened "a" (close to the Great Lakes - which could mean lotsa places), the hard "r" (most prominent in Michigan), the nasal tone (nonspecific, but more prevalent in the Midwest), but also a hint of sing-songy prose - which is heard anywhere from northern Wisconsin to North Dakota (a vestige of Scandinavian immigrants).
That places northern Minnesota probably at the top of the list, with other northern Midwest options out there.
(I may have made this whole accent thing a bit too....analytical, but what the heck)
