For all you lucky lot who have seen it (we don't have it here yet! The FRUSTRATION!)- I have a question. I hear he does a British accent in it? Is it any good?

He does do an english accent and I thought it was not too bad. My husband and his family are from England and his parents still have thick accents Mark didn't sound like them but I've been told that the accents are different according to what part of the country your from. You be the expert Britgirl. Emat what did you think when he said Emily in his accent? I thought of you when he said that.

Thanks twinkle and I look forward to judging his efforts when we get it over here - EVENTUALLY! (Britgirl sends "hurry up!" telepathic messages to Warner Bros UK!)

aaaw, you're sweet! I melted into my seat! It was really cute. But the best is whenever he says "Em" in a soft, sweet voice~

Britgirl, the band was suppose to have Cockney accents. I can't tell if it's a bad or good accent, but Mark said in an interview it wasn't suppose to be really good, so I guess he did a good 'bad' accent!

Oooops! Hi Liane,

Hope that's true about the 'cockney' accent as that's half me and would be so funny as Americans have such a funny idea about how eastenders really talk!!!

Thanks Lianne - Cor Blimey as they say in that part of town, can't wait to hear the results of Mark's c***-er-nee experiment.

Ali, Mark does Essex-speak! LMAO at the thought! (Think he should probably stick to the Boston accent - no offence but his sexy drawl might beat a Romford twang!)
