A Popular Boston Bakery Is CLOSED This Week For Matt Damon And Casey Affleck

Author Carolyn Kruse

No bread for you! Tiamisu? Forget about it? A well-known and well-loved bakery in Boston has closed it’s doors, temporarily. The seriously exceptional North End bakery, Bova’s Bakery, normally is open 24/7 for your baked goods cravings. This week you won’t be able to pop in for a loaf, due to a movie being filmed there. This popular Boston bakery is closed for Matt Damon and Casey Affleck.

The award-winning actors are filming a new movie at Bova’s Salem Street location. NECN reports that according to Deadline, the two actors are shooting scenes for an upcoming flick called, “The Instigators.” Matt Damon and Casey Affleck play thieves who botch a heist and go on the lam. In the article, owner Ralph Bova told the Boston Globe that “They’re taking all my showcases out, and they’re putting in their prop showcases, but they still want my food.” Well, yeah… Of course they do. Have you ever had Bova’s bread? So good. So good. So good!

We know these actors will pull off a Boston accent, no prob. After all, they are Boston natives. But what about others who dare to attempt our accents? Check out some of the good, the bad and the ugly, here:

Are These The ABSOLUTE WORST BOSTON Accents In The Movies?

  • The Good! Good Will Hunting

    These guys know their Boston accent. It’s almost as if we were there with them in the bar. This movie was so good, you forget Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are actors.

  • Good: The Departed-Mark Wahlberg-Alec Baldwin

    Mark Wahlberg IS BOSTON. It’s impossible for him to NOT sound like he’s from here. Alec Baldwin, on the other hand is not. But his accent was authentic enough to pass.  

  • Good: The Real Housewives of South Boston

    This frightfully authentic, and SO real. But yet, hysterically fun! I THINK these people are actors, but I’m not so sure. The line from a wife: “My husband is Marky Marks cousin and was an extra in the Funky Bunch video…I’m SO lucky….” is comedy gold. Which may be on his gold chain.

  • Good: The Fighter-Mark Wahlberg-Amy Adams

    Being from Wista, this scene feels very authentic to me. Wahlberg is a natural actor. He seems like the character he’s playing. Amy Adam’s is playing someone from Boston. Mark IS Boston.

  • BAD: Rob Morrow-Quiz Show

    This 1994 Robert Redford directed movie had everything right, in portraying a 1950’s TV show game show scandal. It was the first time we saw Hollywood crack open the door to behind the scenes cheating for ratings. Rob Morrow plays real life lawyer, Boston’s Richard N Goodwin, who investigates the accusation of game-show fixing. Richard was married to Concord’s own Doris Kearns Goodwin, who is a wonderful presidential historian. Because I enjoyed this movie, I’ll give Rob Morrow’s bad Boston accent a pass.

  • BAD: The Town-Blake Lively

    Not even close. Sorry Blake! But keep scrolling. We may have found one even worse!!

  • BAD! 13 Days-Kevin Costner

    Actually, this was a great movie, sharing the frightening 13 day period of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis that challenged President John F. Kennedy. Bruce Greenwood played a convincing Kennedy, to me. But Kevin Costner’s portrayal of White House adviser Kenneth O’Donnell was held back by Costner’s weak New England accent. The real Ken O’Donnell  was born in Worcester. Costner never stood a chance!

  • BAD: The Departed-Jack Nicholson

    While everything Jack does is always great, his attempt at Whitey Bolger’s Boston accent falls short. Not that any of us has ever SPOKEN to Whitey, we can assume that he didn’t sound anything like The Joker. 

  • BAD: Fever Pitch-Jimmy Fallon

    I thought they got ALOT of this movie about the Red Sox, right. I especially loved the Lenny Clark 1970’s Fenway scene, where they digitally REMOVED all of the modern day Fenway advertising from the Green Monster. I also loved realistic batting practice scene with YAZ! But, Jimmy Fallon’s Boston accent fell short.
