    When I first saw this film I actually thought Nancy Travis WAS English. I was surprised when I found out she was American.
    I watched this again today though and it's not as bad as some actresses' English accent (Thora Birch's in The Hole was horrendous) but I can now tell it's fake as the American accent creeps in.

      Her 'English' accent in this sequel was a vast improvement on the first film.

        I'm English, and I thought Nancy did very well with the accent.

          I agree. I'm also English and I still can't believe Nancy Travis is American.
          I actually think it's a great English accent because she adds a slight Northern lilt. It's not a generic posh London voice which is what most American actresses (i.e. Gwyneth Paltrow) tend to do.

            Ditto. Of course, I was a child when I first saw these films, so of course I wasn't anywhere near as discerning as I would be now, but I think Nancy Travis did just fine with her English accent. I've heard far worse.

                The accent was very good but there was something grating about it.
