View All Critic Reviews Oct 08, Honestly the first bit was funny and my low expectations were raised. Then the kidnapping happens and it descends into boring adventure crap.
I didn't especially like Amy Schumer in it either. She really doesn't have a lot going for her as an actress and she comes across as quite trashy rather than relatable.
I think Kate Hudson should have been cast, that would have been funnier and she's a better actress too. Not that I even think she could have raised the content too far.
It would have been a flop no matter who was in it. Nicki M Super Reviewer. Aug 22, A old talent mixed with a new talent and the combo works for the most part but the film gets a little vulgar. Hawn still has it as the over protective mother and Schumer has great one liners as the unpredictable daughter. Also great are Sykes and Cusack.
The film is short and paced well. I laughed quite a bit. Not a bad rental! Christopher O Super Reviewer. Jul 30, From dramas, to biopics, to fantasy films, most genres have their share of duds, but no genre is more divisive than comedy. Every time a comedy hits the big screen, I find myself worried about it trying too hard to make its audience laugh, ending up falling flat on its face as a final product.
That worry was very harshly proven during my viewing of Snatched. Have you seen a comedy that takes a dark turn, becoming more of a thriller than a comedy? Then you've already seen Snatched as well, because there is nothing original about this movie whatsoever. It doesn't even take the time to come up with clever jokes to at least isolate itself from the rest of the genre. Here is why Snatched is a film you should ignore when looking for something to rent in the future.
I have to admit that I found myself intrigued by the premise when this film started. The first act of the film was basically following Emily Amy Schumer after a break-up, while she still wants to go on the vacation they were supposed to take.
Choosing to take her mother alone, they venture out to meet their eventual fates. Quite honestly, there are only a few chuckles throughout this entire film, and it's definitely not worth your time, but the first act of this movie showed promise, based on the fact that Amy and Goldie had a bit of enjoyable chemistry on-screen together.
This was surprising to me and it became the only reason to hope for the film to improve by the end, but the eventual turn came in act two and completely derailed the film as a whole. Without giving away too much even though this aspect is very prominently in the trailers , the second and third acts of this film focus on the fact that these two women have been kidnapped.
Not only is this aspects completely abrupt, changing the tone of the film immediately, but most of the attempts at comedy are thrown out the window as well, which both benefitted and hurt the film simultaneously.
The comedy didn't work up to that point, but that was the focus in the first act, so when it's abandoned it feels like a completely different film altogether. I known I shouldn't be complaining about specific aspects of a film that fails in general, but when a comedy isn't funny, why should I bother watching it?
From trying to add secondary characters throughout the entire duration, leaving some of the core focusses in the dust in favour of comedy, Snatched makes too many mistakes in this area. Look, all a comedy has to do is make you laugh, period.
After watching this movie, I felt as though I had watched an extended trailer for a movie that I hope would be good.
This film really is just a series of events that lead exactly where you expect they would. In the end, I can't get myself to recommend this film, even to a mother and daughter to reminisce one night. That seems to be the purpose of the movie, but unless they've been kidnapped together before, there isn't really anything to make someone bond over here. The comedy is completely absent for the majority of this movie, the direction seems to be uninspired, which is shocking, due to the fact that this was directed by Jonathan Levine, and the change in tone just doesn't work.
I didn't hate watching this film or anything, but it's a poor film all around. If you can ignore the fact that it's a comedy, you may find a few bonding moments to enjoy throughout the first act and be slightly touched by the finale of the movie, but aside from that, this is a mess of a film from start to finish.
Snatched receives no recommendations from me, but I've seen much worse as well, so take that how you will. KJ P Super Reviewer. Jun 07, The main cast is exhaustingly unfunny, but Snatched earns bonus points for its great ensemble of side characters who provoke some genuinely good laughs. Sean T Super Reviewer.

Jonathan Levine. More like this. Watch options. Storyline Edit. Freshly dumped by her musician boyfriend and fired from her job, all on the same day, suddenly, the rudderless thirtysomething, Emily Middleton, finds herself with two non-refundable tickets to Ecuador.
Finding hard to swallow that she is about to lose the trip of a lifetime, Emily turns to the only person left to come with her: her idiosyncratic, phobic, and cat-loving mother, Linda. But, there, the dream holiday soon turns into an Equatorial nightmare when the mother-and-daughter duo ends up conned and abducted in broad daylight. Now, to stay alive, scaredy-cat Linda and impulsive Emily will need to set aside their differences, and like a fish out of water, navigate through dense jungle thickets.
But, can they make it happen? This is the closest they've been in years. Rated R for crude sexual content, brief nudity, and language throughout. Did you know Edit. Trivia The film marks Goldie Hawn 's return to the big screen, fifteen years after she starred in The Banger Sisters Goofs In this case, it would not be possible to take another person on an already booked trip out of the country. Non-refundable tickets are also Non-transferable, tickets are booked of the name of the person traveling, so it would not be possible to have her mother go, unless the ticket were completely cancelled and rebooked.
Quotes Emily Middleton : Oh, not you. Connections Featured in Film ' Episode User reviews Review. Top review. A mess. Amy is not funny. Her vagina jokes and profane humor is not endearing. She leaves nothing to the imagination. She can be funny but she was not in this and seemed to over act. Poor Goldie had to come out of retirement for this mess. There were some funny parts in the movie but none came from Amy.
This movie could have had some real potential, but the writing was poor. They wasted a lot on unneeded vulgarity which they thought was funny. Don't waste your time with mess. Details Edit. Release date May 12, United States. United States. Official Facebook Official Instagram.
