a a native of new orleans and i can state that almost everything in this movie and from the atrocious nawlins dialect to the highly creative manipulation of crescent city geography and be horrible . this be another one of those big hollywood movie that decide to stereotype new orleans a represent 1. a city full of french sound idiot 2. a city full of people who sound a if they have just return from blanche dubois summer home 3. a city of drunkard and where every day be mardi gras 4. a city of deep mystery and where almost everyone practice or be a victim of voodoo ( i admit that maybe we be a city of drunkard while although every day be not mardi gras ) . the big easy be one of the bad film about new orleans . i wouldn not recommend it to anybody .
