Release

The film premiered at South by Southwest on March 10, 2012.[3]

Reception

Dennis Harvey of Variety gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Pic has some funnier incidents than the first film, as well as a little more narrative oomph within a still-loose framework."[1]

Peter Martin of Screen Anarchy also gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Less a sequel to Surrogate Valentine than another chapter in the life of an itinerant musician, Dave Boyle's Daylight Savings is charming, low-key, and self-effacing, reflecting the appealing on-screen personality of Goh Nakamura."[4]

J. R. Jones of the Chicago Reader gave the film a negative review and wrote, "...this is one of those indie walk-and-talks—like Medicine for Melancholy or In Search of a Midnight Kiss—that aim no higher than to replicate the buzz of a good first date.[5]
