Whenever I watcha movie that is supposed to be filmed in Massachusetts, I am as I am sure many on here are--very critical of the local accents

​

Example:

​

a) Perfect Storm--Clooney sucked, but the locals got it right

​

b) The Town (Ben Affleck produced_--ALWAYS dead on

'c) Conviction--Hillary Swank--I loved the story. Took place in Ayer MA, but why the F do directors think everyone in MA talks like a Kennedy? I am from Worcester and in Ayer most ppl talk pretty close to us. In all my sales travels all over MA, I rarely have encountered a Kennedy accent (closest was a guy from Hingham who was a big boater and hung with Ted K quite often) but that was rare.
