Maybe a Razzie nom for Hanks?

I'm a fan of both Elvis and Hanks but he was comical in this with his bad makeup & accent. It's not my kind of biopic. I prefer more serious and less glam

No but seriously, what cartoon did he pop out of?

I like Hanks, but this was fucking embarrassing.

Reminded me of Austin Powers’ Goldmember. I half expected Hanks to pull out his dried skin-collection box.

Here’s the other thing - the accent comes and goes towards the last 1/4. It’s one thing to have a stupid accent - but to not even be able to retain it is bush-league.

From what I understand he worked on that accent on the many flights to Epstein's island. My guess is his mind was actually elsewhere when working on it though.

I didn't like the film either. It was a mess and the rap music was disconcerting.

Hank's accent was bad and if Parker was worried about being found out as an illegal alien than I doubt he would have spoken in his native accent.

Yeah, no one under age 60 cares about Col. Parker. Weird to focus on him.

Seemed like Hanks was auditioning to be the Penguin in the next Batman reboot. All he needed was the top hat.

Agreed. No one give a shit about Col Sam. Could have written him out, with a diff perspective.
Plus the damn guy didn't even have an accent in real-life FFS

He should get one. He was horrible.
