Is there no film that Meryl Streep can’t master? Actually, yes. Her dicey tones in ‘Out of Africa’ make the film’s title somewhat ironic.

Naturally, it was always going to be a mixed bag. But what about the big screen’s other epic accent misfires? Read on for Empire magazine’s roundup of the 10 worst.
