a5c7b9f00b After her boyfriend dumps her on the eve of their exotic vacation, impetuous dreamer Emily Middleton persuades her ultra-cautious mother, Linda to travel with her to paradise. Polar opposites, Emily and Linda realize that working through their differencesmother and daughter - in unpredictable, hilarious fashion - is the only way to escape the wildly outrageous jungle adventure they have fallen into. When her boyfriend dumps her, Emily, a spontaneous woman in her 30s, persuades her ultra-cautious mom to accompany her on a vacation to Ecuador. At Emily&#39;s insistence, the pair seek out adventure, but suddenly find themselves kidnapped. When these two very different women are trapped on this wild journey, their bondmother and daughter is tested and strengthened while they attempt to navigate the jungle and escape. &quot;Snatched&quot; tried to be a likable movie, but it just didn&#39;t work on any level. I am a big fan of Goldie Hawn and Amy Schumer, but their pairing may have been one of the worst since Warren Beatty and Al Pacino in the ever-so-memorable, &quot;Ishtar.&quot; <br/><br/>Emily (Schumer) has scheduled a trip to Ecuador with her boyfriend, only to have her him break up with her right before the trip! Desperate not to have to go ALONE, she finally convinces her mom to accompany her. Ignoring all warnings by her mom NOT to talk to strangers, she finds herself knee deep in sh*t when both mom and daughter are kidnapped and held for ransom.<br/><br/>Unlike Schumer&#39;s last movie, the hilarious &quot;Trainwreck,&quot; the script here is just too weak (not to mention unfunny) for anything to work. Surrounded by a much more talented cast in &quot;Trainwreck,&quot; Schumer is exposed here and the audience realizes very quickly her shtick gets real old real fast. As muchI love Goldie Hawn, she looked bored and uninterested in this entire project.<br/><br/>Rated &quot;R&quot; for violence and constant ribald language, you won&#39;t have missed much if you choose to pass on this one. I am giving this movie a ten to help offset all the 1 star ratings. Really, 1 star?? There has to be personal issues with Amy Schumer and reviews are not about the movie. I almost didn&#39;t go due to the negative reviews, but they were so awful I thought to myself, &quot;These people are rating Amy Schumer, not the movie&quot;.<br/><br/>That being said, I liked it. I laughed throughout the movie and enjoyed myself which is my goal when going to see a comedy. Yes, some of the jokes were pushing it but I love the realness of her humor. I can relate to the experience her character has even if the experiences are exaggerated for humor. It&#39;s justentertainingZoolander, Anchorman, etc. <br/><br/>You&#39;re not going to discover the human soul watching this film but it&#39;s funny and an enjoyable movie. Goldie Hawn is lovely.<br/><br/>I say ignore the haters, get some popcorn and enjoy this comedy. Often amusing but rarely shifting into a higher comedic gear, Snatched features fun chemistry between co-stars Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn, some delightfully goofy moments of stray hilarity, yet not enough story or heart to keep this thin tale afloat.
