as a long island girl, i have to say i was pretty offended by their interpretation of what a brooklyn accent should sound like. my dad and his siblings were born and raisedin brooklyn and they do not sound like that...they know how to pronounce their 'r's, which is a common misconception of new yorkers. maybe some people sound like that but not the majority, and i thought it was just insulting. well, i mean,. it's not going to ruin my day lol but it was pretty stupid.
sharei knowww! hahaha the r thing is strictly boston hahaha I'd know... i have lived in boston and manhattan. its ridiculous that the two people in the movie who have the strongest "accent" are from canada... ridiculous.
~*Like I did shrooms and got eaten by a bear*~
Also from Long Island and they only thing that bothers me more than phoney Brooklyn accents in movies is phoney Long Island accents. I can always tell when actors are putting it on, no matter how close they come.
shareI'm a long island girl too(but I was born and spent a few years in Brooklyn). I also hated the accent... It made it trashy. Caroline Rea (who I love as an actress) fake accent was horrible! It was so badly fake! I can understand the accent being its based in Brooklyn but to much is to much! lol
shareyeaaaa Amy's accent was ridiculous...i only watched bits and pieces of the movie so i didnt get to hear caroline rea's accent, but i can imagine it was just as bad as the other girl's
sharei know, i've never been there, but i knew that accent was not good. they should've made her work on it more
