Switching to Daylight Saving Time

About This Movie

Switching to Daylight Saving Time is quite the oddball TV movie from '87. Set in this quirky institution that focuses on management techniques, it dives into the chaos that ensues when rumors of layoffs pop up. The tone is a mix of dry humor and genuine character exploration, as you see how different personalities react to the threat of losing their jobs. Some characters try to climb the corporate ladder amid the confusion, while others just try to do their jobs. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, but there’s a certain charm in the performances that keeps you engaged. It’s like a snapshot of corporate culture in the late '80s, reflecting both the absurdity and the human side of workplace drama.

This film has a bit of a cult following among those who appreciate quirky made-for-TV movies from the late '80s. It's not the easiest title to find on physical media, and it seems to have eluded the typical remastering trends that many films of its era benefit from. Collector interest often spikes around themed screenings or nostalgia-driven events, making it a notable entry for those who enjoy the oddities of TV history.
