Most people don't have very good ears for accents, especially Americans. The jokes about Americans attempting foreign languages are legion for good reasons.
Peter Sellers is one of the very, very few people that could do accents perfectly. Even so, his American accent, for example in "Dr. Strangelove," was overdone (perhaps for comic effect like his German one?).
