The worst 'Irish' accent in a film.

In fairness, Julia Robert's accent in Michael Collins was far from the worst. Neither was Jon Voight's in The General.

We, as Irish people, are accustomed to pick up any slight digression from what we imagine an accent should be. If you'd never heard of Colin Farrell but knew he was from Ireland and saw Ondine, you'd probably think, "he must be from around that region."

But because we all know Colin Farrell is a Dubliner, many people pounced on his Kerry accent in that.

Personally, the most distractingly-bad Irish accent in a film, for me, was Cameron Diaz in Gangs of New York (Leonardo DiCaprio would not be far behind). Considering that movie was tackling such epic subject matter, and made by Martin Scorsese, it should have been brilliant, but any time those two spoke, it dragged me right out of the film.

And please don't say, "well, they were Irish people who'd moved to America" as an explanation for how crap their accents were.
