Short description

After falling asleep in a Target dressing room, an unhappy heiress wakes up locked inside the store overnight with a local slacker and notorious liar, leading the two unlikely companions to bond over their shared desire to escape their lives.

What's left behind the scenes

Dermot and Kieran Mulroney, who played the roles of the criminals, are brothers in real life.
The film was shot in Georgia, but is set in Illinois.
The film is set in the same universe as other films by Hughes – “She’s Having a Baby” (1991), “Curly Sue” (1991), and “Home Alone” (1990). All the films take place in Chicago, the director's hometown, feature similar characters, and occur around the same time of year.
When Josie, played by Jennifer Connelly, is looking through tapes, a tape with the soundtrack to the teen comedy-drama “The Breakfast Club,” directed by John Hughes in 1985, can be briefly seen among them.
