Alex Burroughs is a shy, insecure girl who, while helping her father with his catering business at a party, meets Janine Adams, the teen model of the time.

Meanwhile, Janine is fed up with her mother Dierdre not being home when she has her first book signing, because her brother Max is going on a publicity tour. Through a strange coincidence the two girls realize they look so much alike that they decide to swap places for a while. Alex gets to date Jason Sharp (Justin Timberlake), a hip male model, but she has to deal with Janine's domineering mother, Deirdre (Kathie Lee Gifford).

Daylight Saving Time Begins Sunday at 2 a.m.

Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday at 2 a.m. Turn Clock 1 Hour Ahead to 'Spring Forward'. This mean the days will be a little longer -- and most people will lose an hour's sleep.


How to Prepare for Daylight Saving Time

Daylight saving time (DST) is the convention of advancing clocks so that afternoons have more daylight and mornings have less. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn. Modern DST was first proposed in 1907 by William Willett. Many countries have used it since then; details vary by location and change occasionally.

The practice is controversial. Adding daylight to afternoons benefits retailing, sports, and other activities that exploit sunlight after working hours, but causes problems for farming, entertainment and other occupations tied to the sun. Extra afternoon daylight reduces traffic fatalities; its effect on health and crime is less clear. An early goal of DST was to reduce evening usage of incandescent lighting, formerly a primary use of electricity; modern heating and cooling usage patterns can cause DST to increase electricity consumption.
