Whenever someone does a philly accent in film, they do a New York accent. Such bullshit!

I realize it's not a movie, but in Mare of Easttown, Kate Winslet did a good job being Delco. Evan Peters was a little forced. It shows it can be done though. Toni Colette did a decent job in Sixth Sense too.

I never hear anyone talk about Stanley Tucci in The Lovely Bones, but I thought he did a very good, subtle, not overblown Philly accent (the movie takes place in Chester County).

At McGillan's? Kind of a tourist trap. Be better off at Smegy's.

Mare of Easttown was the closest I've seen anyone come to it. Other than that I agree, they usually just sound like a New York accent.
