I mean they kinda did, I don’t know what accent that was. The supporting cast were Jamaican, they were fine.

I posted this in a related thread. First review he does, is Cool Runnings @:50

It's a classic, feelgood movie. But any film where the actors aren't authentically Jamaican are gonna have some off sounding accents.

Which of the four actors y'all think had the most decent accent?
I think the actor who played Jr had the closest standard Jamaican accent

Hollywood gets MOST accents wrong and most castings wrong
