Snatched is a very tepid comedy. Luckily, if you can look past the weak script, Amy Schumer is naturally funny and adorable. Sadly, she is dragged down by her choice of co-star Goldie Hawn. Other than that shock of blond hair, her trademark comedy style and voice are now virtually unrecognizable. *C*


----------
With three terrible screenplays that wasted the immense talent of their respective casts (Snatched, Ghostbusters and The Heat) now on her resume, writer Katie Dippold soars to the top of my avoid-with-a-passion list.

This was fun but very disposable. I love Amy Schumer and it's honestly great to see Goldie Hawn again. You can tell the two of them had a lot of fun making Snatched. But the movie's laugh factor is hit and miss (more hit than miss, but still). You'll laugh and then forget about the movie almost immediately. B-

this was rather mediocre unfortunately. Nothing absolutely horrible but not really funny, although Christopher Meloni's appearance was pretty amusing.

I thought it was really entertaining. Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn were both great and hilarious, and the whole thing was very sweet. Christopher Meloni stole the show though. B+

I thought it was a cute flick. My friend and I took our moms for Mother's Day and we all enjoyed it.

Outside of Meloni and Ike Barinholtz's first scene, it's pretty miserable. And Schumer needs to start steering away from the "spoiled brat" phrase of her career. I know her character is supposed to have an "arc" (like this movie gives a shit about characters redeeming themselves), but that first scene starts the movie off on the exact wrong note. It's pretty much tone-deaf.

A mediocre action-comedy with, I admit, a few very big laughs, mostly courtesy of its peripheral players, including Joan Cusack and Christopher Meloni. The latter is downright brilliant in his too-few scenes as a self-styled, ultimately inept adventurer-explorer. The picture has a very flat, rote quality in general, unfortunately, and does a poor job registering as more than one disposable gag/sketch after another; the mother-daughter dynamic never becomes poignant, and there is never any genuine sense of adventure or danger despite the story involving abduction and a trip into the Amazon. Amy Schumer is decent, though returning two years after Trainwreck by giving nearly the exact same performance, only deployed less effectively or at least in a far less effective vehicle, is a tad deflating. I hate to say it, but I was not impressed by the legendary Goldie Hawn in her first screen role in 15 years. She seems out of practice and unable to find the beat. Watching her, there is a sense of a pro laboring very hard to appear effortless.

Also, the tapeworm scene. Christ. ;) A total single-scene swerve into David Cronenberg territory by this otherwise tidily raunchy mainstream comedy.

Yeah that tapeworm scene was stupid AF. Should have been cut.

It starting to slither out of her throat is grosser than anything in Alien: Covenant. ;)

Yeah, this wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. It was sort of scary because something like this could probably happen. Amy Schumer is actually very funny as long as she isn't doing potty humor, while this script does fall into some lowbrowness, it doesn't plunge. Goldie Hawn is Goldie Hawn. I've obviously heard of her, but I don't think I've ever seen any of her other films.

I doubt it was made with this in mind, but the title is funny because snatch informally means vagina.

Hopefully 2018's I Feel Pretty will provide a far better vehicle for Amy Schumer's ample talent and charm.
