Review of Bermuda Grace

Bermuda Grace (1994 TV Movie)
5/10
As usual, the accent is wrong
25 August 2008
I watched this movie years ago. My mother was from Bermuda and we thought that it would be fun to see a movie about her home. One of the things that drove us crazy was the accent. As usual, the actors who played the Bermudian characters used a generic West Indian accent. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong!!!!!!! Bermudians don't have West Indian accents; the accent is closer to Liverpool. In fact, Bermudians consider West Indian accents to be a little low class. I know this for a fact because I have a lot of relatives there. I don't know if this was laziness on behalf of the dialog coaches or the actors couldn't nail it, but they sure didn't get it right. Some day......
