Mary Reilly

Julia Roberts gives probably the worst Irish accent in film history, co-starring alongside John Malkovich in this 1996 thriller that was based on a book that was also inspired by the Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde story.

 

Box office and critical failure (26% on Rotten Tomatoes, made just $12 million worldwide on a budget of $47 million), and earned Razzie nominations for Roberts as Worst Actress and Stephen Frears as Worst Director (both lost those categories to Striptease). The movie looks good visually, but some of the acting and direction comes off as lackluster, and it borders on being boring most of the time according to the Rotten Tomatoes consensus.

Can't figure out who John Malkovich's charactor in this movie reminds me of..

 

Can't just place it.

"Worst Irish accent in film in history" could also be said of Julia Roberts in "Michael Collins." Why, oh, why was she cast TWICE as an Irishwoman??
