Really Surprised!

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

There is much in the settings and background of this sprightly and very amusing comedy that reminds one of a recent Edison picture, "An Island Comedy." This is also a Thousand Island picture, it is livelier than the other. Mary Fuller plays the part of a young girl who, thinking herself alone, went in wading and was surprised by a man. She denies that the shoe and stocking that he picked up are hers. She also refuses to have him presented to her. Later, she sees a chance to steal back the shoe and stocking when the man (Darwin Kerr) is absent from his tent on the shore. She is caught. She had said that they were not hers, so in taking them, she must be stealing and is therefore compelled to own up. It is pictured and acted in a way rich in pleasing comedy and is sure to please. It is a praiseworthy picture. - The Moving Picture World, November 18, 1911
