I hadn’t seen this movie since it came out almost 15 years ago, so it was fun to watch it again.  And watching it again, all the questions that popped into my head the first time I saw this movie came right back.  So of course, once those questions popped into my head again, I needed the answers.

Rando-Question 1:  Does the disease the kids suffer from really exist?

Answer — Yup.  It’s called Xeroderma pigmentosum.  It’s incredibly rare, about one in 1 million people have it.

Rando-Question 2:  Where was this house if they are British but were occupied by the Nazi’s in World War II?

Answer — The location of the house is supposed to be on an island called Jersey, which is located in the English Channel close to France.  And was occupied from 1940 to 1945.

Rando-Question 3:  Where the hell do I know Nicole Kidman’s husband from?

Answer - Gone in 60 Seconds.  He played the bad guy Raymond Calitri
