Son, I hope you're getting along okay here in Arizona after we just moved here. Are you enjoying your time with the electronic equipment that we bought for you? By the way, have you heard about the kid who is running a pirate radio station and seems to know quite a bit of what goes on behind the scenes at the same high school you go to? Well, I'm off to work now at the school board. By the way, have you seen that confidential letter that was sent to your principal? I can't seem to locate it.

And annoying. I wanted to smack the father in the mouth after his speech about "you've got to talk to somebody". And the mother. "have you ever just walked up to a girl and said hi?".

"We thought for a moment that you were that crazy DJ guy!" Moron! haha You'd think they'd put two and two together when Mark said that he had to go home early to do HW after the PTA meeting, and when the parents get home, Mark locks the basement to do the show, then has to shut it off to hide the equipment. Nora kinda saved his butt when she said that Mark was "talking to her"

And just as the parents return to the kitchen the show starts again, if I recall correctly Harry is even apologizing for technical difficulties!

Sometimes a movie or tv show plot is so stupid that only the stupid can understand it.

Parents are always dumb in teen movies. That's their role. Duh.
