OK..so did Richard and his dad fly over from England


every summer to camp in NJ? Richard has quite a thick british accent

reply

Maybe his Dad lived in America and Richard had vacations with him occasionally?

Better to regret something you did, than something you didn't do!

that sounds about it. My daughter lives in Hawaii and has a real strong Island accent, but she spends summers and winters with me in the Mainland...

That sounds like the only good explanation! All through the movie I kept wondering how the hell he had a boyhood history of the Barrens yet has this 100% English accent no kid would have if they actually grew up in the States.

I didn't think maybe he just went vacationing. Good catch.

Ummm...he could have stayed in England until he was about 12 or so and then his family could've moved to America. His accent sounded like a mixture of British and American.

Please ignore me permanently. If not I'll assume you are in love with me.xoxo rabbit
