So, 'Send a Gorilla' is this quirky little gem from 1988 that takes a look at the behind-the-scenes chaos of a singing telegram company on Valentine's Day. It’s got that offbeat comedy vibe, with a mix of zany characters and kinda relatable subplots. The pacing is a bit erratic, bouncing between the girls dealing with the stress of the holiday, a sexist DJ losing his dog, and some serious stuff like custody battles. The practical effects are minimal, but the charm lies in the performances—especially the lead girls, who bring a certain earnestness to their roles. It feels like a snapshot of late '80s comedic sensibilities, layered with some unexpected emotional beats.
