A frightful boar can’t enliven the frightful bore SEND HELP is.
A sort of feral The Admirable Crichton, SEND HELP is another example of an OK ninety minute feature inflated beyond its welcome in a tale that becomes tedious.
Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien star as undervalued employee and born to rule boss who keeps raising the glass ceiling. She deludedly thinks the dude is a Prince Charming bound to eventually give her a glass slipper.

If protracted projectile vomiting into someones mouth is your cup of spew, then SEND HELP may just be the movie for you.
SEND HELP may have you calling for help after spending nearly two hours with these desert island dicks.
