I've hitch-hiked through both Bakersfield and Oklahoma and while I admit Bakersfield is the Oklahoma/Amarillo of CA, they don't sound like that!

Fair! I spent a lot of childhood on the Oklahoma side of AR and every time we visited Bakersfield (area) I didn’t have to hide my accent because all of them sounded like me lol. Maybe it’s just the smaller towns where my parents are

That said a lot of the time these movies really force the accent.. your review means I ain’t seeing this one so I’m willing to bet it’s the Hollywood forced one and not the one I’m imagining or that I use. It never is lol..

That's exactly the thing, she did this in her last movie too. There is a drawl to Bakersfield and Barstow but she was like trying to do Little Rock

I friggen hate that. I remember being devastated as a kid when I wasn’t cast into our high school play of Steel Magnolias - my parents had moved me out to Nevada but my actually genuine mix of NW AR and NW LA accents weren’t good enough for even a role as an extra 🙄
