Review of Snatched (2017) by Tvjerry — 17 May 2017

Amy Schumer plays herself and adds Goldie Hawn in the mix as her mother. Their vacation to South America gets ruined when they're kidnapped. Even though the situation and the pairing is ripe for laffs, the script isn't often funny.

There's plenty of comic energy and Schumer's brand of delivery still lands (when there's a good line). Hawn forsakes her classic ditzy style for an uptight, unfunny character. Some of the supporting roles get the most mileage out of the material (Ike Barinholtz, Wanda Sykes, Joan Cusack).

The whole endeavor is intermittently enjoyable, but still falls short. NOTE: The starring duo introduces the movie by thanking the audience for coming to see it in an actual cinema.
