Phony Scottish accent

GP must be showing on Brit TV. The comments on twitter about Henry Denton's accent.

Don't they get that he's supposed to sound like a stereotypically bad Hollywood accent?

It's not what a movie is about, it's how it is about it.

They were probably posting half-way through, it finished about an hour ago.

No take backs so far. But I think this ended very late.

People are 'ignorant' if they don't realise the accent is deliberately bad before the reveal?

I don't know that "ignorant" is entirely the right word, but people are fools if they feel compelled to comment on elements of a film before seeing all of it.

All the people her commenting on how Ryan Phillippe's accent is supposed to be bad. Not quite. He is actually trying to convince people so him having a bad accent would only out him.
