Description

Punked out, Matt Miller returns home from a bad day at high school and discovers his parents have flown the coop. “Things just haven’t worked out,” says the note on the refrigerator, “ and we kind of need to be on our own for a while.” Delighted, Matt parties with his buddies ad infinitum, until the day at his girlfriend’s house when he finds himself in tears over her mother’s potato salad. Matt then sets about enticing his parents to return.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications.

For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
