I am a strange persnickety creature... I moaned about Paul Rudd's overwhelming Ruddness in Power Ballad, yet it is perfectly okay that everyone in the Odyssey has an American accent. My Gen X cognitive dissonance is strong.😂 Which I attribute to this Scottish gentleman & his Egyptian friend, Ramirez

I see now why they give Oscars for casting. And my cynical little heart suspects that the only way Carney could get the greenlight funding from the plethora of producers (as shown in the pre-credits) was to cast Rudd. Fine actor, did a good job. But for me, miscast in this John Carney film.
