Is there a homosexual accent?
I presume Ernie Kovacs' Percy Dovetonsils would count . . . ?

 LOL! Yep. Southern accents from Hollywouldn't are almost always wrong, they never reference any Southern tongue except for New Orleans (and even then, only the most overstated extreme.) If it's a cheap TV movie or something, I just roll my eyes, but when the major leaguers go there, I have to call them out. Of course the majority of the critics praised Pacino's performance; I must assume they've never been around a real bona fide Southern person before, either. One review I read stated that the character's accent was a mix of Southern, homosexual and New York. Is there a homosexual accent? And yes, all the examples you noted are one-size-fits-all token accents from an industry that doesn't get out much. ;-)

 This syndrome of watching Looney Tunes or other cartoons to "research" regional accents is not confined solely to this film. There are quite a few evidences in the Murder, She Wrote series - episodes set in France apparently studied old Pepe Le Pew cartoons to get a French accent, anything set in Russia led to people watching old Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoons with Boris and Natasha, and on and on. Oh yeah, the show must've drawn from the same Foghorn Leghorn cartoons for episodes set in the South, that Pacino apparently drew from for his role here.
