Are we talking about inaccuracies or stereotypes that apply to some but have a negative connotation? I can only think of the latter right now.
This isn't a movie, but an episode of SATC where Carrie told her writer-boyfriend that he was wrong for having his lead character wear a scrunchie because NY women don't wear scrunchies outside of the house. Then they were in a bar and he saw a woman with a HORRIBLE scrunchie hairstyle. Carrie said "she's not from here." Then he goes up to her and the lady turns around with a deep Southern accent and said "ooooh noooooooo...I'm not from herrrrurrrrr! You hear that, honeyyyyyy?! They think I'm from NEW YORK!!! NEW YORRRRRK!!!"
She sounded like the talking pothole. There are some deep Southern accents (which sometimes annoy me) but I was more bothered by the connotation of "small town folks/country folks in the BIG CITY."
