    Movie Shifts Gears But Keeps Moving On

    If you can handle the sudden switch in tone midstream, this is an unconventionally enjoyable rom-com. Jean Muir overdoes the melodrama, but we're more than compensated by Loraine Day's strong and sympathetic character. Bonus: I learned to always sit on the coconuts, not the tomatoes.
