    To be fair, Lohan's English accent is a thousand times better than Keanu Reeves's English accent.

      Hulla Baloo I know what you mean, basically every british city has it's own accent, but there is that typical "british" accent that people imagine when you say british, that's what people mean most of the time

    The most painful one for me was in a Fast and Furious movie, the one in Brazil - there were brazilian characters, speaking portuguese, that I couldn't understand at all. You know shit is bad when your mother tongue is unrecogniseable.

    • @hendog5667
      @hendog5667 9 років тому +7

    • @manchesterunitedno7
      @manchesterunitedno7 9 років тому +1

      pamyp21 Funny, because those were actually actors of Brazilian descent. Okay, perhaps Portuguese more like it. Some from Latin and Spanish descent.

      pamyp21 You have them going into a police station without knowing a thing of Portuguese, and I am talking about Tego Calderon and Don Omar. Well.... and the physics and stuff with the rest. Every police officer was bad and so on...

    • @deepakkamuz

  • @MeganKoumori
    @MeganKoumori 9 років тому +23

    Uh, wasn't Lindsay Lohan PRAISED for her accent at the time? Those with finer ears than mine say than she's actually doing four accents: American, English, English pretending to American, and American pretending to be English. Supposedly if you listen closely you can hear the distinction.
    Oh, and when my senior anatomy class watched "Lorenzo's Oil" we were all rolling at Nick Nolte.

  • @Hangie
    @Hangie 7 років тому +59

    Ok, so Lindsay Lohan's accent was pretty damn good for starters! I've seen adults try and do British and fail considerably more than hers. Angelina's is pretty good too, she has the right inflections.... she's just from the wrong area completely :P

    • @gotchaman80
      @gotchaman80 7 років тому

    • @bryanfontez
      @bryanfontez 7 років тому +4

      Agreed. This list is very stupid. Lohan's accent was amazing for her age. Far better than most I've heard by American adult actors.

    • @brittanyr9471
      @brittanyr9471 7 років тому +3

      Hannah Forster Lindsay did do pretty well for age and for a first time. Plus playing twins and switching between the accents couldn't have been easy.

    • @jane-cn6nd
      @jane-cn6nd 7 років тому +2

      Brittany Rose I agree. I think Lyndsay did remarkably well.

    • @comanchio1976
      @comanchio1976 7 років тому +6

      I've got a painfully good ear for accents, and sometimes abandon watching something if it's too bad; Don Cheadle in Ocean's whatever, and Daphne Moon's 'English' brothers in Frasier, all of them with different accents, none of which are remotely English. So I braced myself for the nails-on-a-chalkboard torture, that would be L Lohan's performance... Only to be pleasantly surprised, that she did much better than most adult actors I've heard doing it.

  • @_ChrisRobinson
    @_ChrisRobinson 9 років тому +39

    She's only an honorable mention, but Anne Hathaway gets the award for mist annoying accent in movie. Every time she spoke One Day I cringed. She owes an apology to every citizen of Yorkshire for that atrocity. I'm not even British and I felt offended.

    • @redactedredacted6656
      @redactedredacted6656 9 років тому +11

      She was trying to a Yorkshire accent ? From the clips I have seen I thought she was doing an ok posh London accent.

    Yeah, people don't get Jodie Foster's accent in Elysium because what she's doing is rare. It's a South African accent. Which, given Neill Blomkamp was the director and is from South Africa, means she's probably doing it on director's orders.

    • @mickygd
      @mickygd 9 років тому

      ***** His accent was probably one of the best I've heard, but I'd say it would be easier for him to do because he's Scottish. Scottish and Irish is similar enough to be adapted into one another by a good actor. Norman Reedus is a good example of a badly done Irish accent, in The Boondock Saints. It's overdone to the point that it's cringeworthy. Yes, I'm Irish myself, though I'm of the North of Ireland. Northern Irish accents are even more cringeworthy when done by non-Irish actors, but you hear it less than you do the Southern accents.

    • @mickygd
      @mickygd 9 років тому

      ***** See, there's even at least two types of Dublin accent, North and South. The accent people tend to put on when acting an Irishman tends to be a hybrid of the two and Donegal. Yeah, it's actually quite surprising that he wasn't very good at the Scottish accent, as Neeson is a Ballymena man. Ballymena accents are actually quite similar to the usual Scottish accent you tend to hear. In fact, there's a guy who I work with from Ballymena and he gets confused as a Scotsman himself. Liam Neeson tones down his accent, and it has become a much more neutral Northern Irish accent over the years, but Ballymena accents tend to be quite exaggerated.

    Couple of things, firstly Tarantino's accent in 'Django Unchained' was done as a pastiche of American's in Australian 'Ozploitstion' films of the 70's and 80's. The two other (Australian) actors who who work for the mining company were in lots of those films too (think Razorback and Mad Max).
    Secondly Anne Hathaway is doing a regional accent in 'One Day', its a Yorkshire accent and its a not bad at all. We don't all speak like Lawerence Oliver you know 😊
