Are we nothing but California and New York?

Rating: 3/10 (18 April 2015)

It really does not matter whether a plot is sound, nor whether the actors are skillful, when the scene is unrealistic.
The creators totally failed to recognize that there are regional accents outside of "Northeast," "California," "Cowboy," and "Southern." I am certain that nobody in Missouri sounds like any of the people who were portrayed as "locals." They sound more like North Carolina than like Missouri.
And I am from Colorado. Too bad for the producers that I have relatives in Missouri and I went to college in Indiana.
What's crazy is that you really have to move far afield from Missouri to find an accent that was present in the movie. If they had used actors from Cape Girardeau, MO (where some of the filming was done, apparently), they would have gotten something closer to Kentucky than Huntsville, AL (the birthplace of Kim Dickens, who plays one of the main characters).
And yes, this really should be important. Ask the actors from Wales, England, Scotland, and Ireland. It matters as much here.
