... View MoreFun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

... View More'Snatched' should have been an event. Goldie Hawn, the beautiful, smart and daring comic star of my younger days is back on the big screens after 15 years of absence. She's starring in an action comedy, she pairs with Amy Schumer, a very en-vogue stand-up comedian and big screen actress from the young generation, writer and director Jonathan Levine is at the helm, Goldie's looks in her 70s would be the envy of most women in their 40s, so all premises are in place for a sparkling return. Yet, the film is just OK. What doesn't work?The poster says that the movie was released on Mother's Day in the US, and this is probably were the source of it's problems are. It tries to be both screenable and watchable on Mother's day, but also include the sex jokes we expect from the stand-up star, to be sexy and thrilling without showing too much sex or blood. In other words, there are more hints about the movie wanting to be daring than any content that is really funny or surprising.I found the Hawn - Schumer couple to work pretty well on screen in their mother and daughter roles. Maybe there is no spectacular chemistry between them, but both are great professionals and beautiful ladies, each in her own style. The film fails mainly because of the script. Colonial jokes about South America and family comedy mixed with profanities are not enough. With some more comic or emotional chutzpah this could have been a memorable movie. Maybe Levine and her colleagues were too respectful for Goldie Hawn. I hope that there will be a 'next film' for her, and I hope that she will encourage her future collaborators to dare more.
... View MoreI watched this based on IMDB; Goldie Hawn, Joan Cussack, even Tom Bateman (great in DaVinci's Demons) and Christopher Meloni (Law & Order: SVU). What's not to like? Unfortunately, when it came to the script it's a paint by numbers comedy; bit of nudity, bit of misunderstanding a heavy foreign accident, some light hearted macabre actions, make fun of the attractiveness of the actresses. For me though, the most annoying aspect of the film is that Joan Cussack doesn't have a speaking role, though as she's paired with Wanda Sykes she makes up for both of them. The pay off at the end of the film is predictable, but nice to watch and if you realise that's coming through out the film it makes it slightly easier to watch. I could see it being issued by the government to all first time American travellers going to far flung foreign places; if you get in trouble, this is what we do (at least the first hour of the film, anyway)
... View MoreAll i could say is i would love to get my time back in life i wasted watching this crap. DO NOT WATCH IT!
... View More... that you wasted the time watching it. The first quarter of the movie is somewhat enjoyable in an Amy Schumer humour kind of way - but the plot and dialogues just become flat and cliche and badly written shortly after. You can't stop wondering: you would fund a crappy script like this and why on earth would Goldie agree to be in it!?
