I hate it when they have a Scot try an Irish accent. It makes me cringe. However, I think Tom Cruise should be at the top of the list. His is the worst I have ever heard.

I think that Gerard Bulter's accent was much better than Jeffrey Dean Morgan's in P.S. I Love You. JDM's made me cringe!

Richard Gere was fucking awful and I specifically remember Brad Pitt having a difficult time with the accent (no shit right?) so they told him to speak as if he was asking a question...WTF?
