But more importantly, why, oh, why did they pick Jim Carrey of all people to be touching Ewan???? Ick, ick, ick!

Ewan's "Southern accent" is a fair approximation of what most people think southerners sound like. But if he tried to pass himself off as Southern with that accent, people would assume they were being mocked and beat the crap out of him. Well, they would assume they were being mocked, and I hope they'd beat the crap out of him, 'cause I'm kinky like that.
But, yeah. It will do, but it is nowhere as believable as any accent, say, Cate Blanchet or Gary Oldman has ever done.

Of course, it may be the states vs regions question. I could pick out a Boston accent separate from Maine but they both have a Northern accent to me.
Probably the worst was Ewan's Down with Love accent. Just awful.

The town my family is from has at least five different distinct accents in it alone. Go from town to town in that area of Kentucky and you will hear all KINDS of different accents, based off of family history, particular location, family lineage, occupation, ect. If they ever tried to do pinpoint accents in that area it would break people. :)

It's like My Fair Lady. Henry Higgens could hear the difference. I just hear an English accent. I can recognize cockney because it's so very distinct just like I can recognize upper Bostonian from New Jersey accents (having lived in both areas) but telling accents apart when you aren't around them a lot is hard. So I tend to lump them together into regions.
Actually, I'm curious. If you watch the Clone War cartoons on cartoon network, what is the mascot's accent (he shows up to introduce the next part - looks like a metallic doughboy)? Sounds southern to me.

I can certainly see why it might be a sore point, though.
Perhaps I just don't have a good ear for it.

I suppose a lot of the people in New York are not from there, same here in Atlanta. Plus, you know, TV and radio have taken the edge off regional accents.
I was an Army Brat, so I am familiar with a lot of different accents. I also have a subconscious tendency to imitate accents I am around a lot, which is funny and sometimes disturbing. I don't know why.
