Didja Know?
- Young Lauriston Kridelbaugh became a huge star after this but, following the court decision established in the case David Pickley vs. Puberty, he never had a sustained adult career.
- Leaving children in a car for several hours is not something that is generally recommended unless they are as adept at creating a world of wholesome fun and mischief as the child portrayed in this movie. Check with a doctor or therapist to see if your children qualify.
- Parallel Universe Film Guide staff member Troy Gashley left his daughter Melanie in the car one year while he went in to get a last-minute Christmas gift and there was a line at the register and it took him longer than he expected to get out. But, of course, his ex-wife Megan was following him and reported this to the police and it was used as evidence against him in their-ongoing custody case. So, merry fucking Christmas!
