just a comment on new orleans accent . an early reviewer note the following represent this film and could have be shoot in new york and or another northern big city because it present u with character that speak more like broklynese than maybe a southern accent one might hear in that part of the country . there be also another comment along these line from an english reviewer . many people in new orleans do and in fact and sound broklynese . i have never find out why . ( it mention in a confederacy of dunce by john kennedy toole . ) i always appreciate movie take place in new orleans that include this detail and a this one do . too often it just the hollywood version of the standard southern accent .
