Rose Byrne accent...
was terrible. Really annoyed me throughout the film.

That's how she actually talks, banana bender. share
MovieChat Forums > Neighbors (2014) Discussion > Rose Byrne accent...
I thought it sounded like someone from Australia who hadn't lived in Australia for a while.
Oh wait that's exactly the role she was cast in...
LOL @ Original Post! That's her real Australian accent. I wondered what accent she would have before the movie started (I had seen the trailer once on TV, but couldn't remember). I was surprised she had her true accent, but liked it in the movie. It wasn't too broad and hopefully was easy to understand from non-Aussies (I'm an Aussie).
shareSaw the Film today Rose Byrne is Australian and so am I,She is really good in Australian Films or playing an American in U.S. Films.But I did not like her accent in this.And Seth say's she is Australian.I get the feeling she felt awkward about using it.
shareI saw the trailers for the (awful-looking) remake of Annie, and Rose Byrne is in that film as well, once again using her natural accent. Two films in a row from two different directors features her native tongue. A pattern like this makes me doubt that she was forced to use her Australian accent and was therefore "awkward" about it. There's no reason she had to be a foreign exchange student in this movie, and whatever reason for her accent in Annie, it doesn't seem necessary. She has been using her American accent for a long time now. Perhaps she wanted to use her natural voice and asked the filmmakers to allow her to do so.

Well that's her real voice so there goes that.
However, I didn't see the point in Byrne keeping her native accent though.
Except for the dean/chancellor joke, there was no point in the character being an Australian.
It's bad enough that Brits and Aussies are taking over Hollywood but now the studio execs and these actors' fans and apologists are making the characters foreign to suit the invading actors.

Her accent didn't do anything for the movie no ,but so what?
Must every single character in a film be American? Or must only American actors act in American films? I thought it was a nice refreshing touch actually. Made the film better somehow
That was actually somewhat of a ignorant comment, Yorick!
As for the accent in general, that is her natural accent. And I think Australian General accents are beautiful. The pronunciation of the words and the flow of the language I think is very different from other English accents
If I want an ugly accent I could say I find Deep Southern or Texas accent ugly as hell, but that would probably offend people.
Must every single character in a film be American?
If the setting is in America and there's no point to it, yes.
Or must only American actors act in American films?
It's funny you should ask this at a time in American cinema where British and Australian actors are invading Hollywood at an alarming rate.

Byrne can already do a great American accent. If her character didn't need to be foreign, just use her good American one.
How did it make the film better?
That was actually somewhat of a ignorant comment, Yorick!
How so? Even you admitted that keeping her native accent didn't do anything for the movie.
As for the accent in general, that is her natural accent. And I think Australian General accents are beautiful.
But who said otherwise?
If I want an ugly accent I could say I find Deep Southern or Texas accent ugly as hell, but that would probably offend people.
Who is talking about ugly accents???

LOL what? So every character MUST be American and have an american accent because the setting is in America?

Her character didn't need to be foreign but she didn't need to be american either, I'm struggling to see your real problem here? What would being american do for the movie? Why is it so bad she's Australian, there's many aussies living in the US? share

Unless it figures into the plot or into the character's development, yes.

Other than that funny but avoidable dean joke, there was no point to it. It was an unnecessary distraction.
What would being American do for the movie?
Not distract viewers by wondering how the wife being an Australian figures into anything.
I really hope you're not an American.
There have been so many foreign invaders in Hollywood these recent years and American viewers actually WANT these actors to use their natural accents and have plot contrived to suit their nationality for no reason other than 'he/she sounds so cute/sexy with their regular voice' like with Rachael Taylor (Australian) in the short-lived "666 Park Ave." or Olivia Williams in the underrated "Sabotage" and many other examples that drives me up a wall.
Why is it so bad she's Australian, there's many Aussies living in the US?
Like I said, it didn't make sense in that flick.
So what if there are Aussies living in the U.S.? I didn't pay to see a story about any of them living here when I saw "Neighbors" and I expected that figuring into the plot of the main character's development and not some lame appeasement for naive Americans and foreign apologists.
