I will say that being from the south, North Louisiana you could tell that some of the accents were put on and a little overboard at times.. But anyone from Pittsburgh wouldn't even notice probably.

They play the Oodie brothers, a trio of grotesque, criminal-minded Southern caricatures whom Longoria hires to kidnap her son from her ex-husband Thornton. Also, they don't find out until too late that her ex-hubby is every bit as ethically challenged as the Oodies, and twice as mean. And so it isn't long at all before the Oodies, with kidnap victim in tow, find themselves fleeing any number of colorful pursuers, from a determined federal agent to a band of killer prostitutes to a group of "Road Warrior"-informed outlaws.
The film's obviously low-budget roots are easier to forgive than its technical missteps, including its sloppy editing. What's even harder to overlook, however, is the film's frustrating willingness to indulge in gross stereotype. That starts with its image of Southern men as ignorant, violence-prone loudmouths particularly egregious given that Battles himself hails from Alabama , and steadily builds to its inclusion of a gang of murderous Native American bikers who arm themselves with bows and arrows and scalp their victims.
That's not clever writing. It's insulting and damaging and wrong-headed, as Battles - who co-wrote the script with Gavin Hood - clearly equates "edgy" with "tasteless. Their script does, however, touch on an interesting idea by showing the softer side of such a despicable group as the Oodies, particularly with regard to their gentle interactions with Rob, their kidnap victim.
But it doesn't go nearly far enough to rescue the film. The Oodies, like just about everyone in "The Baytown Outlaws," are so irredeemable and unembraceable that even in their softer moments it's hard to root for them.
