The trailer for the new romantic comedy Wild Mountain Thyme has gotten everyone talking, with a bit of an “Oirish” accent, apparently.
Starring English actress Emily Blunt and Jamie Dornan, who is from Northern Ireland, as well as American stars Christopher Walken and Jon Hamm, the film is set in rural Ireland, a romance intertwined with a family feud over a farm.
Released this week, the movie’s teaser has been teased on social media for its Irish cliches and star accents. Even the National Leprechaun Museum of Ireland, which celebrates Irish myth and folklore, isn’t happy.
Oh.
And Dublin Airport is on the case too, requesting a call to accent police.
Irish Times film correspondent Donald Clarke has asked: “In the name of the holy Bejaysus, what is this cowpat?”
On a positive note, he says “the accents aren’t that bad.” It’s the cliches he disagrees with: Blunt is an “energetic redhead”, Dornan talks to a donkey, a joke about the Irish being violent, silly, that sort of thing, saying it’s “disconcerting that this kind of stereotype happens no comment in the United States. “
On social media, even Dornan’s accent has been criticized. True, he’s from Northern Ireland, but if anyone was going to bring out the Irish accent, maybe it should have been him.
Some have compared the accents to those of Tom Cruise in the highly mocked 1992 film Far And Away.
The Irish Embassy to the US had this to say: “To be fair, Irish accents are hard (sometimes we struggle with them). But otherwise #WildMountainThyme looks great. And, on Jamie Dornan and Emily Blunt presents a very realistic depiction, visually at least, of the average Irish man and woman. We are truly a beautiful people. “
The film will be released in December.
As Alan Partridge would say: “Dere is more from Oireland, they give dis”.
