I know we should think Snatched is funny, but being kidnapped in a foreign country doesn’t seem like a funny situation.
It all starts after her boyfriend dumps her on the eve of their exotic vacation. Impetuous dreamer Emily Middleton, played by Amy Schumer, persuades her ultra-cautious mother, Linda, played by Goldie Hawn, to travel with her to paradise.
Opposites, Emily and Linda realize that working through their differences as mother and daughter – in unpredictable, hilarious fashion – is the only way to escape the wildly outrageous jungle adventure they have fallen into.
Kidnapping occurs in our cities, not just in other countries. It is hard for me to get excited about this movie even though Goldie Hawn is starring in the comedy.
