I couldn't enjoy this film because the accents were so very bad! First of all, I'm a Bostonian, and most people do an absolutely terrible Boston accent. They exaggerate every nuance and sound ridiculous as they do. They'd be so much better off ignoring the accent and just talking! Secondly, my grandmother, who I grew up with, was Irish and spoke with an Irish brogue, though SHE would be very upset if you called it that. "I have an accent, just like everyone else, not a brogue!"
I tried several times to ignore the terrible accents and to just pay attention to the story. Sadly, I couldn't. I've seen Brad in other films where he tries to speak with an accent, and he just can't do it. This is the only film I've seen where Harrison tries, but he learned from his mistake, it seems, and never tried again, to my knowledge.
So, for me, this movie is just unwatchable. Maybe I should try turning off the sound and just rely on closed captioning? Not likely!
