how come every member of the family

Rating: Null/10 (16 March 2015)

speaking English in different accents? you got the widower father speaking with a southern Texan accent, then the father-in-law speaking in another, while the daughter and the son both in a total different accent? if you wife died young when your two kids were still young, they would have to grow up with the father, they would have to learn the way of speaking like their father's, or if they grew up with their grand-father-in-law, they would have to learn their way of speaking from their grand-daddy. but the movie was cast and signed up with different actors, old, adult and teenager, they came from different parts of the country, they speak the same language but in different accents. so when you assembled a group of people to play as a family, the way of speaking of every member in the family should at least sounded similar. yet Matthew McConaughey, the leading character, speaking the dialog in pure Texan accent, his two kids speaking the generic English like most Americans do nowadays. so unless both kids grew up in boarding schools, learning the language from different people, they should at least get some tone or accent from their father, but there was nothing like that. there was no consistency at all, albeit the logic.
McConaughey'a Texan accent really turned me off every time when i watch him in movies that all the characters around him speaking English in similar accent while he just speaking his mother's tone. i really don't know why he would consider losing lot of weight to play the role in 'dallas buyers club', but never considered to adjust his Texas accent in many other movies. there are two guys when they speak in documentary film or regular movies, they just made me feel very uncomfortable, McConaughery is one, the other is Huell Howser, and the latter is even worse, visiting all the California places with ear-sore exaggerated southern accent, looked completely out of place.
McConaughey is a very good actor, but unless he could make himself very conscious how to speak the dialog in different movies with different genres, environments, backgrounds, surroundings, and neighborhoods, but only lazily maintains his a bit exaggerated self-loving Narcissus Texan accent, almost out of place all the time, he would never be a really great actor.
