I had a really good time with Send Help (🌟🌟🌟). This film’s secret weapon is humor. The story of two co-workers stranded on an island after surviving a plane crash, survival films come in all shapes & sizes but it’s rare to see such a film embrace humor like Send Help. The biggest reason director Sam Raimi is able to pull all of this off is because Rachel McAdams is running point. McAdams has long been one of the more overlooked actors in Hollywood for reasons I don’t understand: her range is exceptional, her talent is ageless. Send Help is just one more notch in her belt. The Cinema Tweets Guarantee has always been spoiler free reviews & this review is absolutely no exception. But it’s the reason I won’t be spending much time on plot here. There are a few key twists that I’m not going to approach with a ten foot pole. The whole idea here is that McAdams plays Linda, who works in Strategy & Planning- not Accounting- under Dylan O’Brien’s Bradley, your cliche, stupid, over-the-top, micromanaging, lazy“promise you this but gives you that” manager. Dylan backs out of a promise he owes Linda, the two end up on a flight to Bangkok together, only for their plane to crash and the two to end up stranded together on an island. This is an imperfect film but the entrainment value is high. Sam Raimi is the same man who directed Spider-Man & Spider-Man 2, which I consider two of the best looking comic book films I’ve ever seen. I mention that because the visuals here are sort of underrated? Moments where Linda & Bradley are hunting for food & killing animals or various shots of the beach, or even how the plane crashes, were all weirdly captivating to me. I’m not going to say this is a visual achievement, but I think the filmmaking here caught me by surprise. The direction from Raimi never takes itself too seriously & that works perfectly with the screenplay & story itself. Moments where Linda & Bradley are forced to be honest about each other are some of the funniest & most endearing parts of this film. I think that’s where the emotional core of this movie really rests: two coworkers who want nothing to do with one another are now forced to try and survive with each other. More than that, Linda, a woman who is constantly put down by Bradley and ultimately betrayed when it comes to her promotion (we learn this early on, it’s not a spoiler!), now gets a chance to have the upper hand. These themes are themes anyone with a coworker can relate to & they’re zoomed-in/magnified/explored through a “survival” context. In other words, this film is circumstantially hilarious. Not only that, there’s a tremendous amount of physical comedy from every last actor involved- there’s physical comedy I haven’t seen in quite some time. At day’s end, Rachel McAdams is the number one reason to watch this film. She’s now looking back on what’s turned out to be a 25 year career of making quality films. With that said, McAdams is only 47 years old, which means she still has a lot of runway left in her career & I hope this is a springboard for her to get the recognition she deserves. I think her energy & charisma define this film is and it’s the lynchpin that allows the comedy to really work here. This is a pretty vulnerable performance when you consider what McAdams is asked to do physically, not to mention the fact the running joke this entire film is that McAdams is somehow not totally beautiful. But she does all the heavy lifting & carries nearly every scene of this film. I implore you to watch this movie because of her work. A bright spot for 2026.

U.S. AIR FORCE UPDATE ON B-52 CRASH: EIGHT PEOPLE WERE ON BOARD AND "INITIAL INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE CRASH WAS NOT SURVIVABLE"

Just watched Masters of the Universe. Whoo boy, was that rough! The writing was so poor, and the themes were really scattered, and the humor really didn’t work the majority of the time. Leto’s Skeletor was the best part though, and some really cool musical cues 3 out of 10. Oof

Mirage Men (2013)

I mean, LOOK at this.
