Samantha nips through her first comedy role with such unexpected verve that she will probably be asked to impersonate plucky, romantic dream girls for years to come. Confronted by an office pal while a couple of drowsy strangers storm her bathroom one morning, she dryly quips: "The others don't get up until noon." Altogether, Don't Run is champion-class drollery-slight, stylish, graceful, and abrim with evidence that...
