What do you get when you combine a blind date breakfast, daylight savings time and a fried cell phone? Would you believe, Romance!
An Hour Behind is a wonderfully romantic movie that you absolutely must see. While the ending may seem somewhat predictable, getting there is all the fun in this movie. It is a very enjoyable way to spend a few hours and leaves you feeling good about the happy ending. It might even make you view daylight savings time differently.
I can easily understand how the time change, especially "spring forward" can throw off a schedule. I have certainly had it happen to me and I suspect just about everyone hates the changing of the clocks as much as I do. Even if the clock, or cell phone, by my bed is correct, I inevitably glance at the clock in my kitchen and think it is an hour earlier than it really is. My whole day is messed up. My body doesn't even seem to know when it is the right time to eat or go back to sleep for that matter. Suffice it to say, daylight savings time is an automatic setup for mistakes and mishaps. It is the perfect premise for a romantic, serendipitous encounter.
An Hour Behind Movie Synopsis
An Hour BehindCheck PriceAfter a long day at work, Trish (Emily Rose) plugs in her cell phone, grabs a glass of water, a good book and settles into bed for the night. Without realizing it, she accidentally turns over the glass of water and fries her electrical outlet and cell phone. When she wakes up in the morning, she discovers her useless cell phone. However, one glance at her watch reassures her that she can still make it for her blind date breakfast even though she will be a few minutes late.
When she arrives at the restaurant, she immediately spots the man in the green shirt sitting alone and never even questions if he is who she thinks he is.
Although Parker (Barry Watson) isn't sure what is happening at first, he finds himself intrigued, if not mesmerized by his pretty, unexpected breakfast partner and her choice of food. It isn't immediately clear why her breakfast selection befuddles him, but that is explained later in the movie. At first, he does try to tell her that he is not Adam, the man she is clearly there to meet, but he is interrupted. As the morning progresses, his desire to reveal to her that he is not the man she was supposed to meet is overridden by his desire to spend more time with her. They end up spending the entire day together. However, Parker never found an easy way that day to tell Trish that he is not Adam. Unfortunately, when her sister, instigator of the blind date, wants to know why Trish stood Adam up for their breakfast date, the mistaken identity becomes evident and Trish is angry that Parker didn't tell her the truth. When he drops by her bakery, the confrontation is not pretty and she refuses to serve him.
A few days later, Trish finally meets the real Adam and they start seeing each other on a regular basis. However, Parker still isn't ready to let their interactions end.
