She is such a doll, but her accent is weird.
Don't they have accent coaches in Hollywood anymore?
Her Canadian or Valley Girl or whichever accent is so annoying.

Oh my gawd, we have a lawt tew dew... wæll (=well), yællow (=yellow)...

She makes all her characters sound like stupid Valley Girls.
Please take some accent reduction classes.
There are so many Canadian actresses (like Ellen Page) with impeccable diction and neutral accent.

So what's Ellen Page's excuse for being so annoying to watch?...

the only thing i could do was be me and keep on keeping on, like a bird that flew...

Didn't notice. Don't really care either! I really liked her in "Evil Dead."

She's Canadian---that's how they talk--get used to it. We're already familiar with how Canadians sound in the Midwest, since they're practically our neighbors. Hell, I've heard an American accent or two that I can't stand (the Valley Girl accent is one I've always hated) but she does not sound that bad.

Maybe it's because I'm from California, but I don't notice any accent from her.

Are you a Valley Girl?

What's your point here, bub? She's from Vancouver, and most young people there sound just like her. I like her accent because she's black and Canadian, and for some reason, I don't find the accent as annoying coming from her.

No one has a neutral accent!!!
